Homburg

Lyrics

Your multi lingual business friend Has packed her bags and fled Leaving only ash filled ashtrays And a 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 The trouser cuffs are dirty Shoes are laced are brown You better take off your Homburg Cause your overcoat is too long The town clock in the market square Stands waiting for the hour And it's hands they both turn backwards And on meeting will devour Both themselvеs and also any fools Who dare to tell a time And thе southern moon will shatter And the sign posts cease to sign Well your trouser cuffs are dirty Your shoes are laced are brown You better take off your Homburg Cause your overcoat is too long
