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
Inside, my heart is breaking
My makeup 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, oh

The show must go on (Go on)
The show must go on (Go on, on)
Inside, my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
(Yeah, yeah)

My soul is painted
Like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday
Will grow, but never die
Oh, I can fly, my friends

The show must go on (On)
The show must go on
(Yeah, the show must go on)
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
The show must go on (On)
The show must go on
(Yeah, the show must go on)
Inside, my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
