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-vides-vides Mains sont livides-vides-vides Un seul de tes poignets est tatoué Défiguré par ta manche Le lion ne sourit qu'à moitié À 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 But if you say just one word I'll stay with you Here's my station Here's my station But if you say just one word I'll stay with you La belle attitude, que l'impatience comme certitude Collier à trois fils-fils-fils Liés 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 Et cette ville est morte je sais bien Toi seul gardes 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 But if you say just one word I'll stay with you Here's my station Here's my station 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 (we are so lonely) Pour que l'orage s'annonce (we are so lonely) Pour que l'orage s'annonce
