Mild West

Emptiness in Tombstone, a village so surreal
Actors down in Allen Street to fake a Western feel
The gunfight is a show, O.K. Corral
Nothing is as deep fake as an acted rebel yell

Shop owner wears a gun just below his hip
He's only gonna use it if a tourist skips the till
Back and forth in front of all those Rawhide styled saloons
Rides this stagecoach from a Lucky Luke cartoon

And the sign says be a winner, take a friend to dinner
But all you want to do up there is be a total sinner

The strangest place I know, more fake than Vegas' Strip
A copy of a copy in need of cowboy showmanship
I'm sure the west is tamed like a shootout-themed décor
Only tourists are real when the gunmen take the floor

This town is fading like a forgotten souvenir
Best to leave it there and let it slowly disappear

Emptiness in Tombstone, a village so surreal
Actors down in Allen Street to fake a Western feel
