Well I walk these streets
About your stage I sing to me
Make up on their faces
Actors took their places next to
Well I walk these streets in a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap feel
Secret vendors and the dealers they crowded around me
Have I been blind blind have I been lost
Lost inside my self and my own mind
Hypnotized mesmerized by what my eyes have seen
Well I walk these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome
Carpet that they just rolled out for me
And I walk these streets
In the mad house asylum they can be well
While that mystic laughing in the traffic island
Stopped and erased of saving me
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and my own mind
Hypnotized mesmerized by what my eyes could see
Have I been wrong wrong have I been wise
Wise to shut my eyes and play along
Hypnotized paralyzed by what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they've seen
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Have I been wrong
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
Have I been wise
Have I been strong
Have I been
Hypnotized mesmerized by what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
Oh carnival tonight
Have I been blind blind have I been lost
Lost
Have I been have I been wrong
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
Have I been wise
Have I been strong
Have I been hypnotized
Mesmerized by what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival
