You want so much
You want it all
And as it falls you're bound to fall
Into a world of gold and groovy scenes
Frozen souls and so what?
You're smoking pot with groovy chicks
The politics of Habitat are ultra flat
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
When the curtain falls to no applause
When no one goes to sell out shows
You're pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
And life goes on and on and on and on
Life goes on and on and on and on
You've done so much
You've seen it all
If they could see you now
You're lying in beauty now
It's really sad
And the groovy scenes
And the denim jeans
That were lost and found
In the underground
Have all stopped
Stop
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You'll never know how close you came
From walking down the halls of fame
You'll never know
How close you came
You've only got yourself to blame
You're pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
Pushing up the daisies
And life goes on and on and on and on
Life goes on and on and on and on
And on and on
