The Show Must Go On

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 any more

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 must be warmer now
I’ll soon be 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
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on, yeah, the show must go on
I’ll face it with a grin, I’m never giving in
On with the show
Ooh, I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on with the show
The show must go on
