Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel in touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded page
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 see.
Those who wish to be must put aside the elation.
Get on with the fascination, the mutilation, the underlying dream.
Living in a fish island, spot in the camera eye, I have no heart to lie, I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend.
All the world should be a state, we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience outside the gilded gate.
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 beyond the line of fear.
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 new relation.
Beyond the light, we believe in the new relation.
I'm beyond the line, please
