The Show Must Go On (Live from Theatre National de Chaillot, Paris 1997)

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 anymore?

Show must go on

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 (learning, learning)

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning)

Round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

Show must go on

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

Show must go on

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

With the show

Show must go on

Show must go on!
