Whatcha gonna do
When the last show is over?
And whatcha gonna do
When you can't touch base?
And whatcha gonna do
When the applause is all over
And you can't turn your back
On what you face?
And who you gonna be
When the lights are all fading?
And who you gonna be
When the band comes off?
And who you gonna be
When your heart is still aching
And you can't shrug it off
With just a laugh?
Encore, encore
The last song is over
More, more
The crowd's on its feet
Sure, sure
Adulation is so pleasing
Encore, encore
And whatcha gonna say
To the last person leaving?
And whatcha gonna say
When the light is turned off?
Whatcha gonna do
If you stop believing
That you can't seem to find
What might be lost?
And how you gonna feel
If friends follow fortune?
How you gonna feel
If the music dies?
How you gonna live
With a soul sadly sighing
Into the wind that is our life?
Encore, encore
The last song is over
More, more
The crowd's on its feet
Sure, sure
Adulation is so pleasing
Encore, encore
