this is not comme il faut
it's no respectable affair
I know I lost my head
I'm burning bridges everywhere

my heart, my head, my brains
my senses don't make sense at all
the bar sign prints your name
over and over on the wall

and I can't take it anymore

chime little bells big bells
I try to touch a woman cactus

I see those empty streets
I'm walking 'round legs up head down
my lamp burns all the night
I've lost the map of this old town

and I can't take it anymore

chime little bells big bells
I try to touch a woman cactus

I know it hurts to touch a woman
with those needles and pins

this is not comme il faut
it's no respectable affair
this time I leave the clock
in which I acted as a cuckoo

nothing like cubism
to bring about a woman's shape
