Lyrics for O Maria

There was no one nothing 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 everbody 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 grey O, 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 nothing 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
