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

you´d better take off your homburg

cause your overcoat is too long

The town clock in the market square

stands waiting for the hour

when its 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

you´d better take off your homburg

cause your overcoat is too long

your trousers cuffs are dirty

and your shoes are laced up wrong

you´d better take off your homburg

cause your overcoat is too long

ah, yourtrousers cuffs are dirty

and your shoes are laced up wrong

you´d better take off your homburg

cause your overcoat is too long.....
