Bonsoir Ton véhicule n'a pas l'air d'avoir de passager Peux-tu, veux-tu me recevoir Sans trop te déranger? Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d'échos dans ton couloir Pas de bruit avec mes adieux Pas pour nous les moments perdus En attendant un uncertain au-revoir Parce que j'ai la folie Oui j'ai la folie Oui c'est la folie Oui c'est la folie Oui c'est la folie Oui c'est la folie Il était une fois un étudiant Qui voulait fort, comme en literature Sa copine, elle était si douce Qu'il pouvait presque, en la mangeant Rejeter tous les vices Repousser tous les mals Détruire toute beauté Qui par ailleurs, n'avait jamais été ses complices Parce qu'il avait la folie Il avait la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie Et si parfois l'on fait des confessions À qui les raconter? Même le bon dieu nous a laissé tomber Un autre endroit, une autre vie Eh oui, c'est une autre histoire Mais à qui tout raconter? Chez les ombres de la nuit? Au petit matin, au petit gris Combien de crimes ont été commis? Contre les mensonges et soi-disant les lois du cœur Combien sont là à cause de la folie? Parce qu'ils ont la folie Ils ont la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie Oui, c'est la folie La folie La folie La folie La folie La folie
