(Listen to midi)             D - D7 - Bm - E - A - A7

  D                          - E                     - G                                           D

1.  Your multilingual     business friend    has packed her bags and fled,

                                         E        - G                                             D

    leaving only ash-filled ashtrays     and the lipsticked unmade bed.

                Bm          Em            D                                   A

    The mirror, a reflection,  has climbed back upon the wall,

D                                             E        - G                                       D

    for the floor she found descended,      and the ceiling was too tall.

           D7                      G

Your trouser cuffs are dirty,

                      E                            A

and your shoes are laced up wrong,

              F#                          Bm      

you'd better take off your homburg

                       G                     D

'cause your overcoat is too long

    - D7 - Bm - E - A - A7

  D                                    E                   - G                                      D

2. The town clock in the market square,      stands waiting for the hour,

                                                       E                - G                                            

    when its hands they won't turn backwards, 

                                          D

    and on meeting will devour.

                 Bm                           Em                D                       A

    Both themselves and also any fool who dares to tell the time,

D                                               E     - G                                             D

   and the sun and moon will shatter,    and the signposts cease to sign.
