Text: Beck. Mutations. 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
