I Love You Man movie - Limelight lyrics

rate me

Living on a lighted stage<br>

Approaches the unreal<br>

For those who think and feel<br>

In touch with some reality<br>

Beyond the gilded cage<br>

<br>

Cast in this unlikely role<br>

Ill-equipped to act<br>

With insufficient tact<br>

One must put up barriers<br>

To keep oneself intact<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

Living in the limelight<br>

The universal dream<br>

For those who wish to seem<br>

Those who wish to be<br>

Must put aside the alienation<br>

Get on with the fascination<br>

The real relation<br>

The underlying theme<br>

<br>

Living in a fish eye lens<br>

Caught in the camera eye<br>

I have no heart to lie<br>

I can't pretend a stranger<br>

Is a long-awaited friend<br>

<br>

All the world's indeed a stage<br>

And we are merely players<br>

Performers and portrayers<br>

Each another's audience<br>

Outside the gilded cage<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
