Cendre de lune, petite bulle d'écume Poussée par le vent, je brûle et je m'enrhume Entre mes dunes reposent mes infortunes see'est nue, que j'apprends la vertu (Chorus) Je, je suis libertine Je suis une catin Je, je suis si fragile Qu'on me tienne la main Fendre la lune, baisers d'épine et de plume Bercée par un petit vent, je déambule La vie est triste comme un verre de grenadine Aimer see'est pleurer quand on s'incline (Chorus) Quand sur mon corps, tu t'endors Je m'évapore, bébé tu dors et moi j'attends l'aurore Quand de mes lèvres tu t'enlèves, un goût amer Me rappelle que je suis au ciel Cendre de lune, petite bulle d'écume Perdue dans le vent, je brûle et je m'enrhume Mon corps à peur, la peau mouillée, j'ai plus d'âme Papa, ils ont violé mon coeur (Chorus) (x2)
