Tickets please...

As a kid, this was seriously FUN. A friend at the time was a huge fan and brought me to see the seriously awesome skills of Neil Peart. OMFG!! That dude is a drumming god. Probably the greatest rock drummer ever. His solo was worth the price of admission. That and to hear Geddy Lee sing Limelight live!! Now that Fu@kin' RAWKED!!!

LIMELIGHT

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

 

[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

 

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

 

[Chorus]

Done
