[00:07.000]I’ve walked these streets
[00:10.009]a virtual stage
[00:12.259]it seemed to me
[00:15.000]Makeup on their faces
[00:18.508]actors took their places next to me
[00:28.205]I’ve walked these streets
[00:30.704]in a carnival of sights to see.
[00:36.717]All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors, the dealers,
[00:41.958]they crowded around me.
[00:48.958]Have I been blind?
[00:51.461]Have I been lost inside myself, my own mind,
[00:57.463]hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?
[01:08.953]I’ve walked these streets
[01:12.448]in a spectacle of wealth and poverty.
[01:18.955]In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me.
[01:30.717]I’ve walked these streets in the madhouse asylum, they can be
[01:39.178]where a wild-eyed misfit prophet on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me.
[01:51.665]Have I been blind?
[01:54.174]Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind,
[02:00.165]hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?
[02:12.416]Have I been wrong?
[02:14.666]Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along?
[02:21.181]Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found, by what my eyes have seen, what they have seen?
[03:20.467]Have I been blind?
[03:22.964]Have I been lost?
[03:26.220]Have I been wrong?
[03:29.712]Have I been wise?
[03:31.221]Have I been strong?
[03:37.218]Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have found in that great street carnival, in that carnival?
