Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I’m learning (I’m learning learning learning)

Round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I’m aching to be free

On, with the show
Ooh, I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
On with the show
The show, the show must go on
