|
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 |
