On With The Show
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know
How the story goes
With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew
All their dreams would come true
But you see, Frankie was fast
He was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose
And she knows
He'll finally come too close
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
He was bad
He was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew
All those lies would come true
The time has come
And he paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew
This day would come soon
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
He was stopped on a dime
With a switch-blade knife
Some damn punk went
And took Frankie's life
And she knew
She'd have to pull through
Broken down, with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye
Said Suzy, listen to me
You must go on with the show
Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Oh, baby
