Lyrics of Limelight by Rush
verse
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
verse
Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact
chorus
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be, must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
verse
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
verse
All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience outside the gilded cage
chorus
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be, must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
chorus
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be, must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
outro
The real relation
The underlying theme
Writer(s): Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, Alex Lifeson
