Did you always have somewhere to go?
Did you tell your lies for entertainment?
Did you ever let your feelings show?

Could you ever tell the truth from fiction?
Did you even let your lovers know?
Did you think that life is an addiction?
And love has to be killed or it may grow

Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light

Never in our lives were we together
Nothing real underneath the show
Talk of passion could have been the weather
How could love so wounded die so slow?

Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
Why must the show go on?
After the race is run?
After the victor's song
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light

Why must the show go on?
After the race is run?
After the victor's song
Why must the show go on?
Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light
