The Show Goes On
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 score
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain galls 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, just let the same tired flames burn
From where I sit, everyone stands in judgement
Everybody watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long, slow fade

The show goes on and the sad-eyed sisters fo 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 oyu by
You better try to find it before it passes you by
As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep walking
And they keep on talking
Talking all along

From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
Eveyrbody 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
