All the world's a neon stage
And we are merely players
And for the time, portrayers
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Cast in this, a lively robe
Cast in this unlikely role
Gassed in this unlikely robe
Ill-equipped to act
Within some fish, intact
One must pull a hairy ass
To keep one's self in back.
Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact
Get on with the blessing nation
Get on with the fascination
Humiliation
The underlying theme
The real relation
The underlying theme
I catch the tender strangerness
Along the weighted Fred
I can't pretend a stranger is
A long-awaited friend
Living in the Fish Islands,
Caught in the camera's eye
Living in the fish-eye lens,
caught in the camera's eye
Living in the Fish Islands
Living in the fish-eye lens
Living in the fish islands,
trapped in the camera aisle
Living in a fish eye lens,
caught in the camera's eye
Living in the limelight the Universal Green
Living in the limelight, the Universal Dream
Living in the limelight,
the universe so green
Living in the limelight,
the universal dream
Living on a lighted stage of roaches the unreal
Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
Living on a lighted stage
The roaches be unreal.
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal.
Living on a lighted stage
The roaches be unreal
For those who think I'm feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded gauge
Gasped in this unlikely road
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must poo the various
To keep onself intact
Living in the limelight
The universe will green
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be
My spermicide, the alienation
Every -- the fascination
The mutilation
The underlying fees
Living in the fish-eye lens
F***ing the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend the stranger is
A long-awaited friend
All the worlds in need of steak
We are feeling flairs
Hondas and portrayers
Each anoden's audience
Subside the guilded cage.
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 fish-eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.
Living on the Fishy Islands
Pecking the camera lens.
Living in the fish-eye lens
Caught in the camera eye.
One must put aside the alienation
Get on with the vaccination.
One must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination.
The mutilation
The underlying dream
The real relation
The underlying theme
The neo-elation
They underlie beneath
The real relation
The underlying theme
The real relation
Beyond the lightning
The real relation
The underlying theme
The underlying fee
The underlying theme
The underlying team
The underlying theme
Those who wish to be must put aside the ailing nation.
Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the indignation.
Get on with a passing nation.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation.
Get on with the fascination.
Those who wish to see
Those who wish to seem
With in-submission fact
With insufficient fact
Within some fishing tank
With insufficient tact
