Brian May - The Show Must Go On lyrics

[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, in the pantomime Hold the line Does anybody want to take it anymore? [Chorus] The Show must go on The Show must go on Inside my heart is breaking My make-up may be flaking But my smile, still, stays on [Verse 2] 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! [Chorus] The Show must go on The Show must go on I'll face it with a grin I'm never giving in On with the show [Bridge] My soul is painted like the wings of bu*terflies Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die I can fly, my friends [Chorus] The Show must go on The Show must go on I'll face it with a grin I'm never giving in On with the show [Verse 3] I'll top the bill I'll overk** I have to find the will to carry on On with the show Show must go on Show must go on
