The Show Must Go On
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.
[Zidler]
Another hero
Another mindless crime
Behind the curtain
In the pantomime
On and on
Does anybody know
What we are living for?
Whatever happens
We live it all to chance
Another heartache
Another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know
What we are living for?
The show must go on
The show must go on
Outside, the dawn is breaking
On the stage
That holds our final destiny
The show must go on
The show must go on
[Satine]
Inside, my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile
Still stays on
The show must go on
The show must go on
[Satine]
I'll top the bill
I'll earn the kill
I have to find the will to carry
On with the
On with the
On with the show
[Zidler]
On with the show
On with the show
[Zidler and Satine]
The show must go on
