The Moulin Rouge ((The Show Must Go On))

Well I do believe
There is to be a show tonight
And well, I'm intrigued
You're lucky if you get a bit of the old limelight
In this two-star tower of a hell
Well I can clearly see
Why you won't sing

But surpassed, it goes
Because its theater, honey, and no one has time for that
Choosey little thing called common sense
Or love, yes love.

We're all actors here
Don't be surprized when you find yourself
Spinning lies because it feels right
Oh, we all moan in pleasure
For the thought of being wanted
And accepted, to say the least
Though you'll always feel wrong when the crowd applauds

But you have to smile like you mean it, honey
You have to kiss like you mean it, babe
You have to cry like you mean it, honey
You have to love like you mean it, babe
Because they'll simply

Eat you alive

Now role the tape
Stop and rewind
He's waiting but she's not showing up
For the little meeting they arranged this morning
Because she's at a 'negotiable stance' with higher powers than he

Cry, babe, this town could use more rain
I could kill them all just to see you smile
But its theater, babe
And the show must go on
