Baby, although I chose this lonely lifeIt seems it's strangling me nowAll the wild men, big cigars, gigantic carsThey're all laughing at me now
Oh, I've been used (ooh-ooh)I've been a fool, oh, what a foolI broke all the rules, oh yeahBut I must let the show go on
Baby, there's an enormous crowd of peopleThey're all after my bloodI wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theaterLet me out, let me out
Oh, I'm so blind, oh, I'm blindI wasted time, wasted, wasted, wasted timeWalking on a wire, oh, high wireBut I must let the show go on
Oh, I'm so blind, oh, I'm blindI wasted time, wasted, wasted all too much timeWalking on a wire, oh, high wireBut I must let the show go on
Baby, I wish you'd help me escapeHelp me get awayLeave me outside my addressFar away from this masquerade
'Cause I've been blind, oh, so blindI wasted time, wasted, wasted all too much timeWalking on a wire, high wire
But I must let the show goI must let the show goI must let the show go on
