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 |
