Lyrics
0:00Carnival (Live) - Natalie Merchant
1:37I've walked these streets
1:40A virtual stage
1:42It seemed to me
1:46Make up on their faces
1:48Actors took their
1:49Places next to me
1:57I've walked these streets
2:00In a carnival
2:03Of sights to see
2:06All the cheap thrill seekers
2:09The vendors the dealers
2:11They crowded around me
2:18Have I been blind
2:21Have I been lost
2:23Inside myself and
2:25My own mind
2:27Hypnotized
2:29Mesmerized
2:31By what my eyes have seen
2:39I've walked these streets
2:42In a spectacle of wealth poverty
2:49In the diamond market
2:51The scarlet welcome carpet
2:53That they just rolled out for me
3:00I've walked these streets
3:03In the mad house asylum
3:05They can be
3:09Where a wild eyed misfit prophet
3:11On a traffic island stopped
3:14And he raved of saving me
3:21Have I been blind
3:24Have I been lost
3:26Inside myself and
3:28My own mind
3:30Hypnotized
3:32Mesmerized
3:34By what my eyes have seen
3:43Have I been wrong
3:45Have I been wise
3:47To shut my eyes
3:49And play along
3:52Hypnotized
3:53Paralyzed
3:56By what my eyes have found
3:59By what my eyes have seen
4:06By what they have seen
5:12Have I been blind
5:14Have I been lost
5:17Have I been lost
5:20Have I been wrong
5:22Have I been wise
5:25Have I been strong
5:27Have I been strong
5:31Hypnotized
5:32Mesmerized
5:35By what my eyes have found
5:38By what my eyes have found
5:42In that that great street carnival
5:50In that carnival
5:54Have I been blind
5:57Have I been lost
5:59Have I been lost
6:02Have I been wrong
6:05Have I been wise
6:07Have I been strong
6:10Have I been strong
6:13Hypnotized
6:14Mesmerized
6:17By what my eyes have found
6:20By what my eyes have found
6:23In that that great street carnival
6:33In that carnival
