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 know
what we are living for?

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

CHORUS

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 (yeah)
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on
(On with the show)

The show must go on
(go on, go on, go on...)
