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 ( used)'
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
