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
