Les ailes de la Rolls effleuraient des pylônes
Quand m'étant malgré moi égaré
Nous arrivâmes ma Rolls et moi dans une zone
Dangereuse
Un endroit isolé

Là-bas, sur le capot de cette Silver Ghost de 1910
S'avance en éclaireur
La Vénus d'argent du radiateur 
Dont les voiles légers volent aux avant-postes

Hautaine, dédaigneuse
Tandis que hurle le poste de radio
Couvrant le silence du moteur
Elle fixe l'horizon
Et l'esprit ailleurs
Semble tout ignorer des trottoirs que j'accoste

Ruelles, culs-de-sac
Aux stationnements interdits par la loi
Le cœur indifférent
Elle tient le mors de mes vingt-six chevaux-vapeur

Princesse des ténèbres, archange maudit
Amazone modern style que le sculpteur, en anglais
Surnomma "Spirit of Ecstasy"

Ainsi je déconnais avant que je ne perde
Le contrôle de la Rolls
J'avançais lentement
Ma voiture dériva
Et un heurt violent 
Me tira soudain de ma rêverie
Merde!

J'aperçus une roue de vélo à l'avant 
Qui continuait de tourner en roue libre
Et comme une poupée qui perdait l'équilibre

La jupe retroussée sur ses pantalons blancs

"Tu t'appelles comment?"
"Melody"
"Melody comment?"
"Melody Nelson"

Melody Nelson a les cheveux rouges 
Et c'est leur couleur naturelle
