Limelight

[Instrumental intro with drums] Dwelling on a brilliant stage Teeters on surreal For those who think and feel Connected to a truth beyond the gilded cage Placed in this surprising role Unprepared to play Lacking in finesse One must erect defenses to keep oneself whole Living in the spotlight, the universal dream For those who long to seem Those who aim to be, must push away the alienation Embrace the fascination The true connection, the underlying theme [Drum solo] Dwelling in a fisheye view Caught in the camera's gaze I can't bear to lie I can't pretend a stranger is a long-expected friend [Drum roll] All the world's indeed a stage We are merely players Performers and portrayers Each other's audience outside the gilded cage Living in the spotlight, the universal dream For those who long to seem Those who aim to be, must push away the alienation Embrace the fascination The true connection, the underlying theme [Guitar solo] Living in the spotlight, the universal dream For those who long to seem Those who aim to be, must push away the alienation Embrace the fascination The true connection, the underlying theme The true connection The underlying theme [Instrumental outro] [End]
