Your multilingual businessfriend has packed her bags and fled
leaving only ashfilled ashtrays and the lipsticked unmade bed
the mirrors on reflection has climbed back upon the wall
for the floor she found descended and the ceiling was too tall
Your trousers cuffs are dirty and your shoes are laced up wrong
youŽd better take off your homburg cause your overcoat is too long
The town clock in the market square stands waiting for the hour
when itŽs hands they both turn backwards and on meeting
will devour
both themselves and also any fool who dares to tell the time
and the sun and moon will shudder and the signpost cease to sign
Your trousers cuffs are dirty and your shoes are laced up wrong
youŽd better take off your homburg cause your overcoat is too long
your trousers cuffs are dirty and your shoes are laced up wrong
youŽd better take off your homburg cause your overcoat is too long
ah ,your trousers cuffs are dirty and your shoes are laced up wrong
youŽd better take off your homburg cause your overcoat is too long.
