[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] The show must go on The show must go on, yeah Ooh, inside my heart is breaking My makeup may be flaking But my smile still stays on [Verse 2] 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'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 [Chorus] The show must go on, yeah The show must go on, yeah Ooh, inside my heart is breaking My makeup may be flaking But my smile still stays on [Post-Chorus] Yeah Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh [Bridge] My soul is painted like the wings of bu*terflies Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die I can fly my friends [Chorus] The show must go on, yeah The show must go on, yeah yeah [Outro] I'll face it with a grin I'm never giving in On with the show Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overk** I have to find the will to carry on (On with the) (On with the) show The show must go on
