   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?
