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.

Did you think your love would last forever?

Did you always have somewhere to go?

Did you tell your lies for entertainment?

Did you ever let your feelings show?

Could you ever tell the truth from fiction?

Did you even let your lovers know?

Did you think that life is an addiction?

And love has to be killed or it may grow

Why must the show go on

After the crowd has gone?

After the battles won

Why must the show go on?

On through the night

On until light

Never in our lives were we together

Nothing real underneath the show

Talk of pa*sion could have been the weather

How could love so wounded die so slow?

Why must the show go on

After the crowd has gone?

After the battles won

Why must the show go on?

Why must the show go on?

After the race is run?

After the victor's song

Why must the show go on?

On through the night

On until light

Why must the show go on?

After the race is run?

After the victor's song

Why must the show go on?

Why must the show go on

After the crowd has gone?

After the battles won

Why must the show go on?

On through the night

On until light
