The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces

What are we living for?

Abandoned places

I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero?

Another mindless crime?

Behind the curtain?

In the pantomime?

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah

Inside my heart is breaking

My make up may be flaking

But my smile

Still stays on

Whatever happens

I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache

Another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning - I'm learning, learning, learning

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning - Turning, turning, turning

Round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah, yeah

Uh, inside my heart is breaking

My make up may be flaking

But my smile

Still stays on

Yeah

Uh, oh, uh, oh

Uh, oh, uh, oh, oh

My soul is painted

Like the wings of butterflies

Fairytales of yesterday

Will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

The show must go on - Go on, go on, go on - Hey, hey

The show must go on - Go on, go on, go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

Uh, I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on - On with the show - On with the show

The show the show must go on, go on, go on...
