3 dog night - the show must go on lyrics

(l. sayer/d. courtney)
baby, although i chose this lonely life
it seems it's stranglin' me now
all the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car
they're all laughin' at the lie

oh, i've been used ooo-oo-oo-oo
i've been a fool oh, what a fool
i broke all the rules oh, yeah
but i must let the show go on

baby, there's an enormous crowd of people
they're all after my blood
i wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theatre
let me out, let me out

oh, i'm so blind oh, i'm blind
i wasted time wasted, wasted, wasted time
walkin' on the wire, high wire
but i must let the show go on

[instrumental break]

oh, i'm so blind oh, i'm blind
i wasted time wasted, wasted, all too much time
walkin' on the wire, high wire
but i must let the show go on

baby, i wish you'd help me escape
help me get away
leave me outside my address
far away from this masquerade

'cause i've been blind oh, so blind
i wasted time wasted, wasted, all too much time
walkin' on the wire, high wire
but i must let the show go..
i must let the show go..
i must let the show go on
