There is no one, nothin' to see
The night is useless and so are we
'Cause everybody knows
The fabric of folly is fallin' apart at the seamsAnd I've been lookin' for a good time
But the pleasures are seldom and fewThere's no whiskey, there's no wine
Just the concrete and a worried mind
'Cause everybody knows death creeps in slow
'Til you feel safe in his armsAnd I've been lookin' for a new friend
And I don't care if he's decrepit and grayLa la la la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la laOh, Maria, haven't you known?
Days so careless, all on your own
'Cause everybody knows, the circus is closed
And the animals have gone wildAnd I've been lookin' for my shadow
But this place is so bright and so cleanThere was no one, nothin' to see
The night is useless and so are we
'Cause everybody knows
The fabric of folly is fallin' apart at the seamsAnd I've been lookin' for a good time
But the pleasures are seldom and few, oohLa la la la la la
