Carnival - 2005 Remaster

Well I've walked these streets
 A virtual stage it seemed to me
 Makeup on their faces
 Actors took their places next to me
 ♪
 Well 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 myself and my own mind
 Hypnotized mesmerized by what my eyes have seen
 ♪
 Well I've walked 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've walked these streets
 In the madhouse 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
