[Verse 1] Well Ive walked these streets A virtual stage It seemed to me Makeup on their faces Actors took their places next to me [PreChorus 1] Well Ive walked these streets In a carnival Of sights to see All the cheap thrillseekers The vendors and the dealers They crowded around me [Chorus] Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have seen [Verse 2] Well Ive walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth and poverty In the diamond market The scarlet welcome carpet That they just rolled out for me [PreChorus 2] And Ive walked these streets In the madhouse asylum They can be Where a wildeyed misfit prophet On a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me [Chorus] Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Inside myself 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 [Bridge] By what my eyes have seen What they have seen [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Have I been blind? blind Have I been lost? lost Have I been wrong? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found? By what my eyes have found? In that great street carnival Whoa, in that carnival Have I been blind? blind Have I been lost? lost Have I been Have I been wrong? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found? By what my eyes have found? In that great street carnival In that carnival
