Pantomime

I can’t believe, oh the ease with which you’re telling me to
Fall into line, it’s the line that you have crossed so many times
Can’t you see I can’t play the part you’ve cast me for
I’ve cut the strings, I have seen behind this charming pantomime
Don’t you know that the fire went out?
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know by now?
So hold your tongue
And bide your time
You could be
You could be losing your mind
Back to a time when a look was all it took to get you through
Before the chill stole the thrill and you were racing around with
Nothing to lose, you could prove beyond a doubt you had it
All at your feet, but you’ve lost it now, it’s slipped out of your reach
Don’t you know how the fire went out?
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know?
You should know by now
So hold your tongue
And bide your time
You could be
You could be losing your mind
