Good old rock

Elle m'envoie des cartes postales de son asile M'annonçant la nouvelle de son dernier combat Elle me dit que la nuit l'a rendue trop fragile Et qu'elle veut plus ramer pour d'autres Guernica Et moi je lis ses lettres le soir dans la tempête En buvant des cafés dans les stations-service Et je calcule en moi le poids de sa défaite Et je mesure le temps qui nous apoplexie Et je me dis "stop !" Mais je remonte mon col, j'appuie sur le starter Et je vais voir ailleurs, encore plus loin ailleurs... Et je croise des vieillards qui font la sentinelle Et me demandent si j'ai pas des cachous pour la nuit Je balance mes buvards et tire sur la ficelle Pour appeler le dément qui inventa l'ennui Et je promène son masque au fond de mes sacoches Avec le négatif de nos photos futures Je mendie l'oxygène aux sorties des cinoches Et je vends des compresseurs à mes ladies-bromure Et je me dis "stop !" Mais je remonte mon col, j'appuie sur le starter Et je vais voir ailleurs, encore plus loin ailleurs... Il est bientôt minuit mais je fais beaucoup plus jeune Je piaffe et m'impatiente au fond des starting-blocks Je m'arrête pour mater mes corbeaux qui déjeunent Et mes fleurs qui se tordent sous les électrochocs Et j'imagine le rire de toutes nos cellules mortes Quand on se tape la bascule en gommant nos années J'ai gardé mon turbo pour défoncer les portes Mais parfois il me reste que les violons pour pleurer Et je me dis "stop !" Mais je remonte mon col, j'appuie sur le starter Et je vais voir ailleurs, encore plus loin ailleurs...

1 Contributor Femme De Loth Lyrics J'écoute siffler le vent à 11500 mètres Pendant que ma voisine clignote sur mon vu-mètre Et j'imagine son cri, ses crimes et ses dentelles Moi qui m' croyais gazé v'là que j'déconne pour elle Météo-sex-appeal en matant la dérive Du Sèvres-Babylone correspondance Ninive Et je change à Sodome, à Gomorrhe j'ouvre un pack Avant de me tirer de c'putain d'Eden-Park Ne te retourne pas Ne te retourne pas J'ai ma bombe à étrons et j'ai mes droits de l'homme Et j'ai ma panoplie de pantin déglingué Et j'ai ces voix débiles qui m'gueulent dans l'hygiaphone Ne vous retournez pas, la facture est salée Ne te retourne pas, lady Prends tes distances La terre joue au bingo sa crise d'adolescence La terre joue au bingo sa crise d'adolescence Nous sommes les naufragés dans cet avion-taxi Avec nos yeux perdus vers d'autres galaxies Nous rêvons d'ascenseurs au bout d'un arc-en-ciel Où nos cerveaux malades sortiraient du sommeil Ne te retourne pas

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain Comin' down on a sunny day? Yeah! I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain Comin' down on a sunny day?
