Rush - Limelight Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonLiving on a lighted stageApproaches the unrealFor those who think and feelIn touch with some realityBeyond the gilded cageCast in this unlikely role,Ill-equipped to actWith insufficient tactOne must put up barriersTo keep oneself intactLiving in the limelightThe universal dreamFor those who wish to seemThose who wish to beMust put aside the alienationGet on with the fascinationThe real relationThe underlying themeLiving in a fisheye lensCaught in the camera eyeI have no heart to lieI cant pretend a strangerIs a long-awaited friendAll the worlds indeed a stageAnd we are merely playersPerformers and portrayersEach anothers audienceOutside the gilded cage
