Pantomime Lyrics

Pantomime

In my fantasy I'm a pantomime 

I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean 

Words are too messy

And it's way past time 

To end in my mouth 



Paint my face white and tried 

Reinvent the sea 

One wave at a time 

Speak without my voice and see the world by candlelight 



I ain't afraid to let it out 

I'm not afraid to take that fall 

But I have found beyond all doubt 

We say more by saying nothing at all 



In my fantasy no such thing as time 

Minutes bleed into days

Avant garde 

Show me your heresies

And I'll show you mine 

We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride 



I ain't afraid to let it out 

I'm not afraid to take that fall 

But I have found beyond all doubt 

We say more by saying nothing at all 



In my fantasy you look good entwined 

In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine 

You're my deep secret 

I'm your pantomime 

I'll just move my hands 

I promise you'll see what I mean
