Roy Orbison

Pantomime

Well thanks a lot thank you

Now I'm the talk of the town

Of all the fools they drink to

I am the king of the clowns

I play the lonely joker

I take what fun I can find

I laugh when things aren't funny

I throw away my last dime

You're not mine so I waste my time in pantomime.

It's pantomime.

I'm ready for lonely fun times, yeah

Loud music may dull my mind

Black coffee and electric sunshine

Get set for this pantomime.

I-ay-ay-ay cry inside cause you're not mine

I-ay die-ay-ay-ay inside cause you're not mine

I pantomime.

Laughing when I feel like crying

Crying when I feel like dying

You're not mine so I waste my time in pantomime

Bring on the girls and the parties, yeah

Guitars and drums beating time

Be merry, be gay and hardy, yeah

I'm set for this pantomime.
