Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Living on a lighted stage Approaches the unreal For those who think and feel In touch with some reality 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
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 Living in a fisheye lens Caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I cant pretend a stranger Is a long-awaited friend
All the worlds indeed a stage And we are merely players Performers and portrayers
Each anothers audience Outside the gilded cage
