the show goes on

what's the long face

whats 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 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

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 she sits

everyone stands in judgment

people 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

time is passing

slowly passing you by

you better try to find it before it passes you by

as i watch you walking to another cold dawn

and you keep on walking

and they keep on talking

talking all along

from where she sits

everyone stands in judgment

everybody 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

and the summer's all gone

still without you

the show goes on

and the summer's all gone

still without you

the show goes on
