Lyrics
Your multilingual bus’ness friend
Has packed her bags and fled
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
And the lipstick unmade bed.
The mirror on reflection
Has climbed back upon the wall.
For the floor she found descended
And the ceiling was too tall

Chorus:
Your trouser 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 signposts cease to sign.
