[Verse 1]
B G#m
Living on a lighted stage
F# E
Approaches the unreal

For those who think and feel

In touch with some reality

To keep oneself intact
[Chorus]

The universal dream

For those who wish to seem

Must put aside the alienation

Get on with the fascination

The real relation
F# G#m
The underlying theme

All the world's indeed a stage

Performers and portrayers

Each another's audience

Outside the gilded cage
[Chorus]
