Ton vehicule n'a pas l'air d'avoir de passager Peux-tu veux tu me recevoir Sans trop te deranger? Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d'echos 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 c'est la folie Il etait une fois un etudiant Qui voulait fort, comme en literature Sa copine, elle etait si douce Qu'il pouvait presque, en la management Rejeter tous les vices Repousser tou les mals Detruire toutes beautes Qui par ailleurs, n'avait jamais ete ses complices Parces qu'il avait la folie, oui, c'est la folie Et si parfois l'on fait des confessions A qui les raconter meme le bon dieu nous a laisse tomber Un autre endroit, une autre vie Eh oui, c'est une autre histoire Mais a qui tou raconter? Chez les ombres de la nuit? Au petit matin, au petit gris Combien de crimes ont ete commis Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur Combien sont la a cause de la folie Parce qu'il ont la folie
