Souffle saccadé Voilà qui laisse deviner Que tout se décide cide cide Tout se décide cide cide Maquillé comme à la craie Tout détonne et tout me plaît Les mains sont livides vide vide vide Mains sont livides vide vide vide Seul deux de tes poignées est tatoué Défiguré par ta manche Le lion ne sourit qu'à moitié A mes solitudes immenses Ton visage ne sera jamais entier Comme tu regardes au dehors J'emporte un portrait dévoré Douleur destin bord à bord Here's my station Here's my station Ouh ouh But if you say just one word I'll stay with you Here's my station Here's my station Ouh ouh But if you say just one word I'll stay with you La belle attitude Que l'impatience comme certitude, Collé à trois fils fils fils Collé à trois fils fils fils Tu seras j'espère fidèle aux violences qui opèrent Dès que tu respires pires pires Que tu respires pires pires D'ordinaire cette ville n'offre rien Qu'une poignée d'odeurs tenaces Que cette ville est morte Je sais bien toi seul garde de l'audace Il faudrait que tu la portes loin Alors que d'autres renoncent Je descends deux enfers plus loin Pour que l'orage s'annonce Here's my station Here's my station Ouh ouh But if you say just one word I'll stay with you Here's my station Here's my station Ouh ouh But if you say just one word I'll stay with you Pour que l'orage s'annonce Pour que l'orage s'annonce Pour que l'orage s'annonce Pour que l'orage s'annonce We are so lonely In this part of town (Pour que l'orage s'annonce) (Pour que l'orage s'annonce) We are so lonely (Pour que l'orage s'annonce) We are so lonely Pour que l'orage s'annonce
