 B           G#m
Living on a lighted stage
   F#             E
Approaches the unreal
     F#                  E
For those who think and feel
    B               G#m
In touch with some reality
  F#               B
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

Chorus:
G#m            E
Living in the limelight
    F#         G#m
The universal dream
      E                F#  G#m
For those who wish to seem
  E               F#
Those who wish to be
     G#m           E
Must put aside the alienation
F#              G#m
Get on with the fascination
     E
The real relation
    F#           G#m
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
