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 

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 

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 

Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die 

I can fly - my friends 

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 - 

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...
