1. Strophe:
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?

2. Strophe:
Another Hero, Another Mindless Crime
Behind The Curtain, In The Pantomime
Hold The Line
Does Anybody Want To Take It Anymore?

Refrain:
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

3. Strophe:
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?

4. Strophe:
I Guess I'm Learning [I′m 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

(Refrain)

Bridge:
My Soul Is Painted Like The Wings Of Butterflies
Fairy Tales Of Yesterday Will Grow But Never Die
I Can Fly, My Friends

(Refrain)

Ending:
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 Must Go On
