Lyrics

[Intro]
| F#m | - | -   | - |

| -   | - | -   | - |
| -   | - | E   | - |
| D   | - | F#m | - |

[Verse 1]
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
             E
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
D
Makeup on their faces
                             F#m
Actors took their places next   to me

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
In a carnival
E
 Of sights to see
D
All the cheap thrillseekers
The vendors and the dealers
     F#m
They crowded around me

[Chorus]
A
 Have I been blind?
            E
Have I been lost?
Inside myself and my own mind?
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
               F#m
By what my eyes   have seen

[Verse 2]
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
              E
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
D
 In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome carpet
     F#m
That they just rolled out for me

[Pre-Chorus]
   F#m
And   I've walked these streets
         E
In the madhouse asylum
They can be
        D
Where a wildeyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
       F#m
And he raved of saving me

[Chorus]
A
 Have I been blind?
            E
Have I been lost?
Inside myself and my own mind?
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
               F#m
By what my eyes   have seen
A
 Have I been wrong?
            E
Have I been wise?
To shut my eyes and play along?
D
Hypnotized, paralyzed
               F#m
By what my eyes   have found
 D                   E
By what my eyes have seen
               F#m
What they have seen

Have I been wise?
           F#m
Have I been   strong?
            A
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
               E
By what my eyes have found?
   F#m        D
In that great street carnival

   Have I been blind?

Have I been lost?

Have I been wrong?
