Satine (Nicole):
I´m dying
I was a fool to believe
A fool to believe
It all ends today
Yes it all ends today

Zidler (Jim):
Send Christian away
Only you can save him

Satine:
He´ll fight for me

Zidler:
Yes, unless he believes you don´t love him

Satine:
What?

Zidler
You´re a great actress Satine
Make him believe you don´t love him

Satine:
No!

Zidler:
Use your talent to save him
Hurt him, hurt him to save him
There is no other way
The show must go on, Satine
We´re creatures of the underworld
We can´t afford to love

Satine:
Today´s the day when dreaming ends

[Zidler]
Another hero
Another mindless crime
Behind the curtain
in the pantomime

On and on
Does anybody know
What we are living for?

Whatever happens
We live it all to chance
Another heartache
Another failed romance

On and on
Does anybody know
What we are living for?

The show must go on (2x)

Outside, the dawn is breaking
On the stage
That holds our final destiny

[Chorus]
The show must go on (2x)

[Satine]
Inside, my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile
still stays on

[Chorus]
The show must go on (2x)

[Satine]
I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry
On with the
On with the
On with the show

[Zidler]
On with the show...
On with the show...

[Zidler and Satine]
The show must go on
