The Show Goes On

Lyrics

What's the long face?
 What's all the crying for?
 Didn't you expect it
 When you opened your door?
 To the man with the long coat
 And the long list of victims
 Everybody, watching knows
 He's the one keeping the score
 From where she sits
 Everyone stands in judgment
 And people watching as the curtain falls down
 See the lights do a long, slow fade
 The show goes on
 And the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
 Everyone, watching all along
 The show goes on
 As the autumn's coming and the summer's all gone
 Still without you, the show goes on
 ♪
 Some say, "She's alright"
 Some say, "She'll never learn"
 Some rush into things
 Some stand and wait their turn
 I've been here all along
 Standing here all this time
 But you never noticed
 That the same tired flames burn
 From where I sit
 Everyone stands in judgment
 Everybody watching as the curtain falls down
 See the lights do a long, slow fade
 The show goes on
 And the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
 Everyone, watching all along
 The show goes on
 As the autumn's coming and the summer's all gone
 Still without you, the show goes on
 ♪
 Time is passing
 Slowly passing you by
 You better try, try to find it
 Before it passes you by
 As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
 And you keep on walking
 And you keep on talking
 Talking all along
 ♪
 From where she sits
 Everyone stands in judgment
 Everybody watching as the curtain falls down
 Woah, see the lights do a long, slow fade
 The show goes on
 And the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
 Everyone, watching all along
 The show goes on
 As the autumn's coming and the summer's all gone
 Still without you, the show goes on
 Woah, the summer's all gone
 Still without you, the show goes on
 Oh, oh, oh, and the summer's all gone
 Still without you, the show goes on
