Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it´s strangling me now
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars
They´re all laughing at me now
Oh I´ve been used
I´ve been taken for a fool, oh what a fool
I broke all the rules
But I won´t let the show go on
Baby look there´s an enormous crowd of people
And they´re all after my blood
I wish maybe they´d tear down the walls
Of this theatre and let me out, let me out
Oh I´ve been so blind
I´ve wasted time
Wasted, wasted, oh so much time
Walking on the wire, high wire
But I won´t let the show go on

[Scat verse]
Oh I´ve been so blind
I´ve wasted time
Wasted, wasted, oh so much time
Walking on the wire, high wire
But I won´t let the show go on
Baby I wish you´d help me escape
And help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade
I´ve been so used I´ve been so abused
I´ve been a fool I broke all the rules
I´ve been so used oh and abused
But I won´t let the show go
I said I won´t let the show oh
Won´t let the show go on
