Lyrics On With The Show - The Get Up Kids

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
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
Well, 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
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
Well, 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.»
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on, baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
Oh, baby
