Pantomime Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got me feeling like a pantomime
That's why I only love you part time
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
You got me feeling like a paradigm
Your friends all want me in the meantime
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
[Chorus]
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Verse 2]
You left me, baby, for another man
He's looking tall, he's got a deep tan
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
He's got religious with the rhinestones
Takes care of business on his cellphone
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you dare touch me no more"
You've got me feeling like a pantomime
That's why I only love you part time
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
You got me feeling like a paradigm
Your friends all want me in the meantime
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
[Chorus]
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Verse 2]
You left me, baby, for another man
He's looking tall, he's got a deep tan
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you, don't you touch me no more"
He's got religious with the rhinestones
Takes care of business on his cellphone
It's just a matter of "Oh, don't touch me
Don't you dare touch me no more"
[Chorus]
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Post Chorus]
If you've gotta go, I won't stop you
You'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us"
If he's got a chance to his mode
He'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
[Chorus]
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Post Chorus]
If you've got to go, I won't stop you
You'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
If he's got a chest and some arms
He'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Post Chorus]
If you've gotta go, I won't stop you
You'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us"
If he's got a chance to his mode
He'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
[Chorus]
Hey, you got all the money, honey
Your eyes are looking runny and red
Hey, you think all your friends are funny
But all your friends are way overfed
[Post Chorus]
If you've got to go, I won't stop you
You'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
If he's got a chest and some arms
He'll hear me singing you
"Glory! Glory! Hallelujah"
You've made it easy for the both of us
About
Genius Annotation
“Pantomime” is a lighthearted love/break up song by Imagine Dragons.
A ‘pantomime’ is “any of various dramatic or dancing performances in which a story is told by expressive bodily or facial movements of the performers”. Under that context, the song is Dan expressing how his ending relationship feels like a show that he is struggling to put on and not a real bond. The song’s recipient has ‘all the money’ (is wealthy) and has already moved on to her next lover. Their departure is then much like ‘giving the commodities a rain check’ from the namesake song of the EP.
