Limelight Lyrics

Living on a lighted stage

 approaches the unreal

 for those who think and feel

 in touch with some reality

 beyond the guilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role

 and ill-equipped to act,

 with insufficient tact,

 one must put up barriers

 to keep oneself intact.



[chorus]

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 guilded cage.



[chorus]
