After a fashion which is
Purely the mood that takes me
I’ll set my mouth on fire and kiss ya ‘till ya blister
The tears I cry
Out her
spell out a word
all for you

Watch the thin boy in dark clothes
Falling over pianos
Trips on the moving carpet
Play like he’s deaf and dumb and blind
The answer is
Quite obvious
Oblivious to all but you

After a fashion
She’s the answer
After a fashion
I’m the question

After a fashion
She’s the answer
After a fashion
I’m the question

Watch the thin boy in dark clothes
Falling over pianos
Trips on the moving carpet
Plays likes he’s deaf and dumb and blind
The answer is
Quite obvious
Oblivious to all but you
CHORUS
