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 
The show must go on 
The show must go on, yeah 
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'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 
The show must go on 
The show must go on, yeah yeah 
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking 
My make-up may be flaking 
But my smile still stays on 

Yeah yeah, whoa wo oh oh 

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 (go on, go on, go on) yeah yeah 
The show must go on (go on, go on, go on) 
I'll face it with a grin 
I'm never giving in 
On - with the show 

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill 
I have to find the will to carry on 
On with the show 
On with the show 
The show - the show must go on 
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on 
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on 
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on 
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on 
Go on, go on
