There is no one, nothing to see, the night is useless and so are we
Because everybody knows the fabric of folly is falling apart at the seams
And I've been looking 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
Because everybody knows death creeps in slow till you feel safe in his arms
And I've been looking for a new friend and I don't care if he's decrepid and grey

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

O Maria, haven't you known days so careless all on your own?
Because everybody knows the circus is closed and the animals have gone wild
And I've been looking for my shadow, but this place is so bright and so clean

There is no one, nothing to see, the night is useless and so are we
Because everybody knows the fabric of folly is falling apart at the seams
And I've been looking for a good time, but the pleasures are seldom and few

La la la la la
La la la la la
