Le Moulin Rouge Lyrics
"The Show Must Go On"

S: I'm dying
I was a fool to believe,
A fool to believe
It all ends today
Yes it all ends today

Z: Send Christian away
Only you can save him
S: He'll fight for me
Z: Yes, unless he believes you don't love him
S: What?
Z: You're a great actress, Satine
Make him believe you don't love him
S: No
Z: 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
S: Today's the day,
S&Z: When dreaming ends

Z: 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 leave 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
The show must go on

Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage
that holds our final destiny

The show must go on
The show must go on

S: Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile.. still stays on

Z: The show must go on
The show must go on

S: I'll top the bill, I'll earn the kill,
I have to find the will to carry on with the
S&Z: On with the
On with the show

Z: On with the show
On with the show

The show, the show
must go on
