Carnival - Lyrics by Merchant Natalie


Lyrics
I've walked these streetsa virtual stageit seemed to memake up on their facesactors took theirplaces next to me
I've walked these streetsin a carnivalof sights to seeall the cheap thrill seekersthe vendors & the dealersthey crowded around mehave I been blindhave I been lostinside myself andmy own mindhypnotizedmesmerizedby what my eyes have seen?I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth & povertyin the diamond marketsthe scarlet welcome carpetthat they just rolled out for me
I've walked these streetsin the mad house asylumthey can bewhere a wild eyed misfit propheton a traffic island stoppedand he raved of saving mehave I been blindhave I been lostinside myself andmy own mindhypnotizedmesmerizedby what my eyes have seen?have I been wronghave I been wiseto shut my eyesand play alonghypnotizedparalyzedby what my eyes have found?by what my eyes have seenwhat they have seen?have I been blindhave I been losthave I been wronghave I been wisehave I been stronghave I beenhypnotizedmesmerizedby what my eyes have foundin that great street carnivalin that carnival?
