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
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
