[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
The Show must go on
The Show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
[Verse 2]
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!
[Chorus]
The Show must go on
The Show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
[Bridge]
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
[Chorus]
The Show must go on
The Show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
[Verse 3]
I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
Show must go on
Show must go on
