There was no one, nothing to see 

The night is useless and so are we 

'Cause everybody knows the fabric of folly

Is fallen apart at the seams



And I've been lookin' for a good time

But the pleasures are seldom and few



There's no whiskey, there's no wine 

Just the concrete and a worried mind 

'Cause everone knows death creeps in slow

Till you feel safe in his arms



And I've been lookin' for a new friend

And I don't care if he's decrepit and grey



O maria haven't you known 

Days so careless all on your own 

'Cause everybody knows the circus is closed

And the animals have gone wild



And I've been lookin' for my shadow 

But this place is so bright and so clean 



There was no one nothing to see 

The night is useless and so are we 

'Cause everybody knows the fabric of folly

Is fallen apart at the seams



And I've been lookin' for a good time

But the pleasures are seldom and few
