Satine:

I'm dying

I was a fool to believe

a fool to believe

it all ends today

yes it all ends today



Zidler:

send Christian away

only you can save him



Satine:

he'll fight for me



Zidler:

yes, unless he believes you don't love him



Satine:

what?



Zidler

you're a great actress Satine

make him believe you don't love him



Satine:

no!



Zidler:

use your talent to save him

hurt him, hurt him to save him

there is no other way

the show must go on, Satine

we're creatures of the underworld

we can't afford to love



Satine:

Today's the day when dreaming ends



Zidler:

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?



Zidler & Chorus:

Whatever happens, we leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?



The show must go on

The show must go on



Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage

that holds our final destiny



The show must go on

The show must go on



Satine:

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on



Zidler & Chorus:

The show must go on

The show must go on



Satine, Zidler & Chorus:

I'll top the bill, I'll own the kill

I have to find the will to carry on...



All:

...with the

On with the

On with the show!



Zidler:

On with the show!

On with the show!

The show must go on!
