Verse:
?After another production of "The Flying Dutchman"
 I landed in Berlin
 Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
 And wonder what state I'm in
 Sissi was the anarchist empress of Austria
 And I was in the same state that she was in
 Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
 And where the hell's that fan?

Verse:
?After another induction to the hall of famine
 I closed the magazine
 Thinking over and over it how can I get over it
 And be German and mean
 Jenny was a pirate and Jane was beheaded and Nina was a sweet nymphomaniac
 And with them in my corner I'm sure that it's a tall order
 To find that perfect man?

 Trying to make all the roses bloom in unison
 Say I'm gonna blow you away
 Making all of the roses bloom so step away

Verse:
?After another unveiling of the bright red herring
 I walked down Rufus Street
 Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
 And where in the world will I meet?

Bridge:
?That literary, lean, stripe suited lover
 I've read about all of my life
 Which I fear is a ruse and explains
 All the walks through all the parks of Europe
 And why I never will tell you "I love you"
 And why there is just but
 A vision of perfect man?
