[Verse 1]
B5                          F#5            E5
Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal.
    F#5                 E5      B5
For those who think and feel in touch with some
  G#7sus4  F#5            B5
reality beyond the gilded cage.

[Verse 2]
B5             G#7sus4
Cast in this unlikely role,
F#5            E5
illequipped to act.
     F#5          E5
With insufficient tact,
B5              G#7sus4     F#5            B5   A5 E5
one must put up barriers to keep oneself intact.

[Chorus]
G#7sus4       E
Living in the limelight,
    F#sus4    G#7sus4    E                 F#sus4
the universal dream  for those who wish to seem.
A7sus4 E5                  F#5     G#7sus4
       Those who wish to be   must put    aside the
 E          F#11               G#7sus4
alienation, get on with the fascination.
    E                  F#sus4           G#7sus4
The real relation, the underlying theme.

[Verse 3]
B5          G#7sus4                 F#5           E5
Living in a fish   eye lens, caught in the camera eye,
  F#5              E5
I have no heart to lie.
  B5              G#7sus4       F#5         B5     A5 E5
I can't pretend a stranger is a longawaited friend.

[Verse 4]
B5                G#7sus4            F#5           E5
All the world's indeed   a stage and we are merely players,
   F#5            E5
performers and portrayers,
B5             G#7sus4     F#5             B5   A5 E5
each another's audience outside the gilded cage.
