I heard news from far away knocking on my door
I saw the forks, I saw the knives on the set table
Why messages and telegrams if you arrive and disappear
I have money and ID, but I don't remember my name

No more parties, no more carnival
I think I was deceived
Tell me the time, I'm leaving
Today I'm late

Why schools and colleges?
There's nothing to learn
I no longer see, I no longer think, I can't write anymore
I'm a black belt, I play guitar, one day I'll jump off a wing
I sleep during the day, work at night, not sure if I'll come back home

No more parties, no more carnival
I think I was deceived
Tell me the time, I'm leaving
Today I'm late

I look at the traffic, I look at the signal, it's all jammed
Videotapes, computers, and coded men
There's a blonde who's interested, the redhead says she loves me
The black one wants, I don't even know who I take to bed

No more parties, no more carnival
I think I was deceived
Tell me the time, I'm leaving
Today I'm late

I'm suffocating, excuse me, get out of my way
I'm nearsighted, I'm hypotensive, my foot is always numb
Amsterdam via Paris, I think that's where I'll go
I changed my haircut, I don't even know how I am

No more parties, no more carnival
I think I was deceived
Tell me the time, I'm leaving
Today I'm late

I'm late, I'm late, late late

Late for what? Me?
