What's the long face, whats all the crying for
   Didn't you expect it when you opened your door
   To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims
   Everybody watching knows he's the one keeping score
   From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
   People watching as the curtain falls down
   See the lights do a long slow fade...
  
  
   The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
   Everyone watching all along
   The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
   and the summer's all gone
   Still without you, the show goes on
  
  
   Some say she's alright, some say she'll never learn
   Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
   I've been here all along standing here all this time
   But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn
   From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
   People watching as the curtain falls down
   See the lights do a long slow fade
  
  
   The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
   Everyone watching all along
   The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
   and the summer's all gone
   Still without you, the show goes on
  
  
   Time is passing,slowly passing you by
   You better try to find it before it passes you by
   As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
   And you keep on walking
   And they keep on talking
   Talking all along
  
  
   From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
   People watching as the curtain falls down
   See the lights do a long slow fade
   The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
   Everyone watching all along
   The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
   and the summer's all gone
   Still without you, the show goes on
