have gun, will travel - the show must go on lyrics
[intro]
after the audition, i shook his hand an drove away
charlie the director, called me on the following day
he offered me the role, he said it was the one i was born to play
[verse]
i met the lead actress, on a thursday afternoon
she looked like rita hayworth, she was living in a motel room
cameras started rolling, on the twenty second day of june
[pre-chorus]
’cause everybody knows the show must go on
everybody knows
[verse]
there’s hardly any money, everybody worked the scale
investors stated backing out on the night that charlie went to jail
charlie called his father, you know his father put up a bail
[verse]
charlie had a habit, nearly everybody knew
his att-tude effected, the entire cast and crew
he finally left the picture, but somehow we made it through
[chorus]
’cause everybody knows the show must go on
’till the last lines’ been delivered, and the curtain is drawn
and everybody knows the show must go on
’till the credits finish rollin’ and the patience is gone
[verse]
critics crucified me, they were clearly out for blood
they said i’d never work again, and they dragged my name through the mud
but under those conditions, i say i gave the best performance i could
[verse]
waiting outside his house on the night of the big premiere
he came home drunk and he asked me “what the h-ll are you doing here?”
the gun went off in my hand, you know it left a ringin’ in my ear
[chorus]
’cause everybody knows the show must go on
everybody knows the show must go on
everybody knows the show must go on
everybody knows
[break]
the show must go on
the show must go on
[instrumental outro]
