Limelight - rush

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
