THE SHOW MUST GO ON

By Queen (Oct.1991)

Empty spaces – what are we living .............?

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.

............. and ............., 

Does anybody know what we are looking .............?

Another hero, another mindless crime,

............. the curtain ............. the pantomime,

Hold the line, 

Does anybody want ............. take it anymore?

 

The show must go ............. (x2)

............. my heart is breaking, 

My make-up may be flaking,

But my smile still stays ..............

 

Whatever happens, I leave it all ............. chance.

Another heartache, another failed romance.

............. and ............., 

Does anybody know what we are living .............?

 

I guess I’m learning;  I must be warmer now.

I’ll soon be turning ............. the corner now.

............. the dawn is breaking,

But .............  ............. the dark, 

I’m aching ............. be free.

The show must go ............. (x2)

............. my heart is breaking, 

My make-up may be flaking,

But my smile still stays ..............

 

My soul is painted like the wings ............. butterflies;

Fairy tales ............. yesterday will go, but never die.

I can fly, my friend.

 

The show must go on (x2)

I’ll face it ............. a grin!  I’m never giving .............!

.............  ............. the show.

 

Oh, I’ll top the bill;  I’ll overkill.

I have ............. find the will ............. carry .............

With the show (x2)

The show must go ..............
