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



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

Yeah! oh oh oh



My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday, will 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



I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

The show must go on
