作曲 : Jonathan Fire Eater | |
They say that good is too often the enemy of the best | |
I think of Peter in his cowboy vest | |
Under the Marble Arch way down in the square | |
He was yelling at the mimes for them to beware | |
He said "you're nothing so precious, you're nothing so rare | |
You're quite common I can see you everywhere | |
I see you in my church when you mime your prayers | |
You're wearing pearls and your hair is grayer" | |
Hey everybody plays the mime sometimes | |
Are you married to an unfaithful world where you carry the flags if they come unfurled? | |
Are you locked into a projection booth that shows the films of your troubled youth? | |
Hey everybody plays the mime sometimes | |
So don't start to pout or I will take you to task | |
Your sailor stripes and your white powder mask | |
You mimic the wino with the silver flask | |
It's the transient child and his eyes that you lack | |
Your world is a tundra so painfully, painfully bare | |
Are you married to an unfaithful world where you carry the flags if they come unfurled? | |
Are you locked into a projection booth that shows the films of your troubled youth? | |
Hey everybody plays the mime sometimes | |
Yes your world is a tundra so painfully bare | |
Of the roses in the silk scarves they wear in their hair | |
Have they turned you to the German, German au-pairs? | |
They spoon-feed their princes apples and pears | |
Yeah they spoon-feed their princes cooked apples and pears | |
Oh they spoon-feed their princes apples and pears | |
Oh they spoon-feed their princes cooked apples and pears | |
Hey everybody plays the mime sometimes |
