The Show Must Go On - Nirvana

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

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.

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 breaking

But inside in the dark I’m aching to be free

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 My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly — my friends

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 —

I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on On with the —

On with the show —

The show must go on…
