| Lyrics: | 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,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To
keep oneself intact.
Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who
wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the
fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.
Living in a fisheye
lens,
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 |
