[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, mmm, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody wanna take it anymore?

[Chorus]
The show must go on
The show must go on
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 heartachе, another failed romance
Outsidе the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

[Bridge]
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die
I can fly, my friends

[Chorus]
The show must go on, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
The show must go on (ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]
Ooh, I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show, with the show
Show must go on (Go on)
