_ _ _ _ _ I've walked these streets, a virtual [E] stage, it seemed to me,.
_ _ [D] makeup on their faces, actors took their places [F#m] next to me.
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ I've walked these streets, in a [E] carnival of sights to see,.
_ _ [D] all the cheap thrill-seekers, vendors and dealers, [F#m] they crowded _ around me.
_ _ [A] _ _ Have I been blind?.
Have I [E] been lost inside myself and my own mind?.
[D] Hypnotized, _ mesmerized, by what my [F#m] eyes have seen.

_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ I've walked these streets, in a [E] spectacle of wealth and poverty,.
_ _ _ [D] in the diamond market, the Scarlet Welcome Cafe, [F#m] they just [C#m] rolled [F#m] up on me.
_ _ _ _ And I've walked these streets, in [E] the madhouse, the silent they can be,.
_ [D] where wild and miserable _ traffic islands start their [F#m] new way of saving [C#] me.
_ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ Have I been wrong?.
Have I [E] been wise to shut my eyes and play [Em] along?.
[D] _ Hypnotized, paralyzed, by what my [F#m] eyes have found,.
[D] by what my [E] eyes have seen, _ _ _ _ what [F#m] they see.
