But you'd be the only man on Earth

Who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise!''"

And never again, are you alone..//"

"''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

With insufficient tact

One must put up barriers

To keep oneself intact''"
