O Maria

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 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 everybody knows death creeps in slow

'Til 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 gray

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 lookin' for my shadow

But this place is so bright and so clean

There 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 seams

And I've been lookin' for a good time

But the pleasures are seldom and few, ooh

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la la
