A Man Without Qualities

Mr. Mystical, he says it's all relative, but what's in a name?
Oh, mystical and magical he says, he says
Higher, higher, higher, higher

Her ambition, untinted by irony or the fruits of experience, she says
A different kind of woman, she's good in all areas
She's good in all areas, she says, she says

So quiet, decent, in his own way, and who's to say
Who's to say? But all let slip away, let slip away
And controlling higher, higher, higher, higher
