Beck O Maria Lyrics

O Maria Lyrics

there was no one nothing to see 
the night is useless and so are we 
cause everybody knows 
the fabric of folly is fallen 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 
cos everone 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 
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 fallen apart at the seams 
and i've been lookin' for a good time 
but the pleasures are seldom and few
