Baby

although I chose this lonely life

It seems it's strangling me now

AII the wild men with big cigars and gigantic cars

They're all laughing at me now.

Oh! I've been used oo-hoo

I've been taken for a fool - oh what a fool

I broke all the rules

oh yeah

But I won't let the show go on.



Baby there's an enormous crowd of people

And they're all after my blood

I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls

Of this theatre and let me out - let me out.

Oh! I've been so blind

oh yeah

I've wasted tine

wasted

wasted

oh so much time

Walking on the wire

the wire

But I won't let the show go on.



Baby

I wish you'd help me escape

And help me get away

Leave me outside my address

Fa@r away from this masquerade

I've been so used I've been so abused

I've been a fool I broke all the rules

I've been so used oh and abused

But I won't let the show go

No

I won't let the show

No

I won't let the show go on.
