Empty spaces, what are we living for?Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and onDoes anybody know what we are looking for?Another hero, another mindless crimeBehind the curtain, in the pantomimeHold the lineDoes anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go onThe show must go on, yeahInside my heart is breakingMy makeup may be flakingBut my smile, still, stays on
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chanceAnother heartache, another failed romance, on and onDoes anybody know what we are living for?I guess I'm learningI must be warmer nowI'll soon be turning, round the corner nowOutside the dawn is breakingBut inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go onThe show must go onInside my heart is breakingMy makeup may be flakingBut my smile, still, stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterfliesFairy tales of yesterday, grow but never dieI can fly, my friends
The show must go onThe show must go onI'll face it with a grinI'm never giving inOn with the show
I'll top the billI'll overkillI have to find the will to carry onOn with the showShowShow must go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
