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      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
