This Train - Mimes Of The Old West lyrics

They'd throw imaginary ropes around imaginary cattle No one was amused They'd get themselves all trapped inside invisible boxes At best, they'd seem confused Yeah, but you've got to respect them Sure, they were weird These were the true pioneers No one had it harder These boys pa**ed the test No one got beat up more often than the mimes of the Old West Well, people these days They feel so sorry for themselves Think they've got it hard Try walking through Dodge City in the 1800s dressed in a unitard And though the odds were against them, they would prevail They knew they just couldn't fail No one had it harder Rightfully so, I guess No one got beat up more often than the mimes of the Old West They stood there blind to the hatred On with the show They paved the way for the great Marcel Marceau
