how can i live with myself
without pretendin i’m anyone else?
anyone else would have left right away
but i learned my parts and i took to the stage

we signed that contract in blood
we were impatient and we were in love
in love with the lights and the road
but some things still follow wherever you go

they want us to sing them that song
about our love long dead and gone
and if they won’t hold their applause
baby the show must go on

all night

confusin the present and past
i place my hand on the small of your back
i’m back in that house where we lived
the ring and the finger and formin a fist

they want us to sing them that song
about our love long dead and gone
and if they won’t hold their applause
baby the show must go on

all night
