Em D
Well I've walked these streets a virtual stage it seemed to me.
C Em
Make-up on their faces, actors took their place next to me.
Em D
Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see.
C Em
All the cheap thrill seekers; the vendors and the dealers they crowded around me

By what my eyes have seen

==VERSE==
Em D
I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty
C Em
In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they've just rolled out for me.
Em D
And I've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be
C Em
where a wild eyed misfit profit on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me.
`

Have I been blind

Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind

Have I been wrong

Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along
C
Hypnotized, Paralyzed

By what my eyes have found,

By what my eyes have seen
Em
What they've seen
