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, ooh, 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 theater Let me out, let me out Oh, I'm so blind, oh, I'm blind I wasted time, wasted, wasted, wasted time Walking on a 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 Walking on a 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 Walking on a wire, high wire But I must let the show go I must let the show go I must let the show go on
