Show must go on

The old circus performs every night

Half the stock have died out

Half the staff have run away

The old circus performs every night

Same old tricks

Same old illusions

The old circus performs every night

Horribly in debt

Borrowing from other circuses

The old circus performs every night

Most of the auditorium empty

No one interested

The old circus performs every night

Investing the remaining money in advertising

´Our production is second to none´

The old circus performs every night

The circus has gone bankrupt long past

Now moving from its own inertia

The old circus performs every night

The old mare half dead

The old circus performs every night

We are tied to the circus unwillingly

We can´t avoid it

We can´t escape

They know it

Show must go on
