Satine:
I was a fool to believe
A fool to believe
It all ends today
Yes it all ends today

Spoken
Zidler:
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.

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 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

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

The show must go on
The show must go on

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

On with the SHOW!
On with the SHOW!

The show must
The show must go on
