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
Want to take it anymorethe
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
On with the - on with
The show the show must go on...
