Showbiz (Live, The Astoria, London, 2000) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self-destruction
Pushing us into self-destruction

[Chorus]
And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

[Verse 2]
Trying to please you for too long
Trying to please you for too long
In visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow

[Chorus]
And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams
[Verse 1]
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
And forcing my darkest soul to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self-destruction!
And pushing us into self-destruction!

[Chorus]
And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

[Breakdown]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Outro]
"[?] Look at that guitar go!
That, i think it is officialy, Matt Bellamy's broken guitar making that noise
Guitars and drums, it's going all over the place, it's Muse who flew in from Germany this morning to play tonight and they're back to Europe tomorrow, Muse [?] Matt live on Radio 1"
(Radio noise)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
