You want so much You want it all And as it falls you're bound to fall Into a world of gold and groovy scenes Frozen souls and some rock You're smoking pot with groovy chicks The politics of habitats are drunk wild There's no business like show business Like no business i know The curtain falls to no applause When no one goes to sell out shows You're pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies And life goes on and on and on and on Life goes on and on and on and on You've done so much You've seen it all If they could see you now You're lying in beauty now Which is really sad And the groovy scenes And the dead MG's From the lost and found In the underground that won't stop Stop There's no business like show business Like no business i know You'll never know how close you came From walking down the halls of pain You'll never know How close you came You've only got yourself to blame You're pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies Pushing up the daisies And life goes on and on and on and on Life goes on and on and on and on And on and on
