[Author's Note: "Show" as in their lives, not as "TV series" ^_^; This is sort of a sequel to "Whisper a Dream" so go read that first! | Warning! Episode spoilers up to ep 26! ]

Show Must Go On
by Queen
(from the Innuendo album)


Empty spaces, what are we living for
(Quatre at his desert base, thinking of Alexa)

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
(A scene of Quatre leaving the Siberian base)

On and on...does anybody know what we are looking for?
(flashback to ep 1, Quatre: "I told you...you should have surrendered...")

Another hero, another mindless crime
(ep 7, the five gundams just after the destruction of the pacifist Alliance leaders)

Behind the curtain, in the pantomine
(ep 14, Trowa passively helping Heero find Marshall Noventa's family)

Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
(ep 10, Wufei refusing to accept the mission)


The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking

(Again, Quatre thinking about Alexa)
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on


Whatever happens, I leave it all to chance
(Heero offering gun to Sylvia Noventa)

Another heartache, another failed romance
(ep 1, Relena holding out her hand. "My name......My name is...")

On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
(ep 17, Duo lying facedown on Deathscythe's main screen)

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
(ep 12, Sally trying to talk to Wufei)

I'll soon be turning, 'round the corner now
(ep 11, Duo and Quatre leaving the Maguenacs to battle without them)

Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

(ep 16, Trowa prying his hand off the control stick after destroying Inspector Acht's MS)


The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Oo, inside my heart is breaking

(ep 10, Quatre doubling over in his seat, clutching his chest)
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.

(ep 17, Quatre reaches over to press self-destruct button)
Yeah
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

(ep 17, Sandrock destructs)


My soul is painted like the wings on butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday would grow but never die

(Whisper a Dream, chap 1, Alexa placing her hand over Quatre's heart)
I can fly -- my friends
(ep 17, Quatre eases into the shuttle's seat)


Show must go on -- yeah
(ep 21, Quatre thinking of Sandrock)
Show must go on
(end of ep 12, Wufei talking to Sally)
I face it with a grin
(ep 23[?], Duo agrees to the 5 scientists' plan)
I'm never giving in
(ep 25, Heero: "Quatre....Omae o korosu.")
Oh, in the show
(Trowa in his clown outfit, bowing)


Oo, I'll top the bill
(Zechs standing smugly on a Leo)
I'll overkill
(Lady Une giving the order to lauch missiles at the colonies)
I have to find the will to carry on--
(end of ep 25, Quatre helping Heero and WingZERO looming over them)
--on with the show, on with the...
SHOW

(Trowa lost in the drifts of space)

Show must go on, go on, go on, go on....
