O Maria

There is no one, nothing to see

The night is useless and so are we

'Cause 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

'Cause everybody knows death creeps in slow

'Til you feel safe in his arms



And I've been looking for a new friend

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



La la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la la



Oh, 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 looking 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 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 la la la la
