On With The Show

Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes

With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true

But ya see, Frankie was fast
Too fast to know, he wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose
And she knows he'll finally come too close.

Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my

He was bad, he was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew
All those lies would come true

The time has come
And he's paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew
This day would come soon

Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my

Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my

He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life

And she knew
She'd have to pull through
Broken down
With his broken dreams

With a wink of an eye
Said, "Suzy, listen to me
You must go on with the show"

Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my

Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my

Oh baby
