Jul. 13th, 2007 12:54 ami've walked these streets
a virtual stage It seemed to me
make up on their faces
actors took their places
next to me
i've walked these streets
in a carnival of sights to see
all the cheap thrill seekers
the vendors & the dealers
they crowded around me
have I been blind
have I been lost inside
myself and my own mind
hypnotized, mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
i've walked these streets
in a spectacle of wealth & poverty
in the diamond market
the scarlet welcome carpet
that they just rolled out for me
i've walked these streets
in the mad house asylum they can be
where a wild eyed misfit prophet
on a traffic island stopped
and he raved of saving me
have I been blind?
have I been lost inside
myself and my own mind
hypnotized, mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
have I been wrong?
have I been wise to shut
my eyes and play along
hypnotized, paralyzed
by what my eyes have found?
by what my eyes have seen?
What they have seen?
have I been blind?
have I been lost?
have I been wrong?
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?
