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?
[Verse 2]
Another hero
Another mindless crime
Behind the curtain
In the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Whatever happens
I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache
Another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friend
[Verse 8]
The show must go on, yeah
The show must go on, yeah
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
[Verse 9]
Ooh, I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on (On with the, on with the)
Show must go on (The show must go on)
Written by: Brian May, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Roger Taylor
