Текст (слова) песни: Natalie Merchant - Carnival

 
I`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 and the dealers 
they crowded around me 
 
have I been blind 
have I been lost 
inside my self and 
my own mind 
hypnotized 
mesmerized 
by what my eyes have seen? 
 
I`ve walked these streets 
in a spectacle of wealth and poverty 
in the diamond markets 
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 my self 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 
inside my self and 
my own mind 
hypnotized 
mesmerized 
by what my eyes have found 
in that great street carnival 
in that carnival?
