Moulin Rouge - The Show Must Go On (Movie Version) Lyrics

Zidler (spoken): The show must go on, Satine.We're creatures of the underworld.We can't afford to love.

Satine (sung): Today's a day...

Both (sung): When dreaming...

Satine (sung): Ends.



Zidler (spoken):

Another hero

Another mindless crime

Behind the curtain

In the pantomime

(sung): On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?



Zidler and Chorus (sung):

Whatever happened

We leave it all to chance

Another heartache

Another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?



Zidler (sung):

The show must go on

The show must go on



Zidler and Chorus (sung):

Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage

That holds our final destiny

The show must go on

The show must go on



Satine (sung crying):

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile

Still stays on



Zidler and Chorus (sung):

The show must go on

The show must go on



Satine (sung):

I'll top the bill

I'll earn the kill

I have to find the will

To carry on with the

On with the

On with the show



Zidler (spoken):

On with the show

On with the show



Chorus:

The show must go



Zidler:

The show must go on
