Limelight

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
 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 seem
 Those who wish to be, must put aside the alienation
 Get on with the fascination
 The real relation, the underlying theme
