Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role, I'll equipped to act
Within sufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in a fish-eye lent, caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience, outside the gilded cage
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
