Like a schmuck without a string Like a king without a guillotine Or a fork without a fin Or a chair without a brain A computer without glycerine Like a skeleton that dances In a coat of human skin Without you I'm just a fool A criminal Like a car without a flute I'm unable to commute I'm unable to enthrall, my love When you ask me what I've lost What the loss of you has cost I'm inclined say it all, my love So I'm wandering through Paris In a suit of gold And wondering why I'm cold Without you I'm just a fool A criminal Like a tongue without a vice Like a once without a twice Like a fish without a bicycle I am wandering through Paris carrying an imaginary gun And murdering everyone Without you I'm just a fool A criminal Like a vamp without a claw Like a man with hands of straw I have wondered what I'm for, my love Puffing on my small guitar Playing on a large cigar As I wander through the war, my love Like a dog without a rock A giraffe without a co*k A kiss without a kick Without you I'm just a fool A criminal
