Show Must Go On

Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess I 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
the show must go on
