Baby, although I chose this lonely life

It seems it's stranglin' me now

All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car

They're all laughin' at the lie



Oh, I've been used Ooo-oo-oo-oo

I've been a fool Oh, what a fool

I broke all the rules Oh, yeah

But I must let the show go on



Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people

They're all after my blood

I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theatre

Let me out, let me out



Oh, I'm so blind Oh, I'm blind

I wasted time Wasted, wasted, wasted time

Walkin' on the wire, high wire

But I must let the show go on



----- instrumental break -----



Oh, I'm so blind Oh, I'm blind

I wasted time Wasted, wasted, all too much time

Walkin' on the wire, high wire

But I must let the show go on



Baby, I wish you'd help me escape

Help me get away

Leave me outside my address

Far away from this masquerade



'Cause I've been blind Oh, so blind

I wasted time Wasted, wasted, all too much time

Walkin' on the wire, high wire

But I must let the show go..

I must let the show go..

I must let the show go on
