The Show Goes On Lyrics

What's the long face
What's all the crying for
Didn't you expect it?
When you opened your doorTo the man with the long coat
And the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows
He's the one keeping the scoreFrom where she sits
Everyone stands in judgment
And 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 onSome say, "She's alright"
Some say, "She'll never learn"
Some rush into things

Some stand and wait their turnI've been here all along
Standing here all this time
But you never noticed
Is that the same tired flames burnFrom where I sit
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 onTime is passing
Slowly passing you by
You better try, try to find it
Before it passes you byAs I watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep on walking
And you keep on talking
Talking all alongFrom where she sits
Everyone stands in judgment
Everybody watching as the curtain falls down
Woah, see the lights do a long, slow fadeThe 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 onWoah, the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Oh, oh, oh, and the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
