Lyrics

Un soir qu' l’improviste chtac
Je frappe ma porte toc-toc,
Sans r (c)ponse je pousse le loqu
Et j’ecoute gemir le hamac,
Grincer les ressorts du paddock,
J’avance dans le black out,
Et mon kodak,
Impressione sur les plaques sensibles de mon cerveau
Une vision de claque,
Je sens mon rythme cardiaque qui passe brusquement mac
Deux tic-tac, Tic-tac, Tic-tac, Tic-tac,
Comme sous un electro-choc,
Elle (c)tait entre deux macaques,
Du genre festival Woodstock,
Et semblait une guitare rock deux jacks,
L’un a son trou d’obus, l’autre a son trou de balle, crack,
Hey Doc, qui moi?, paranoЇaque?,
Demandez donc un peu au vioque qui est portier de nuit,
Au Roxy Hotel si je debloque,
C’est l jamais sur le bloc note de ma memoire,
Black sur white, et quoi que je fasse,
Ca me reviendra en flash back, bordel,
Jusqu' ce que j’en claque.

Lyrics translation

One evening that the improvist chtac
I knock my door knock knock,
Without r (c)ponse I push the loqu
And I hear the hammock moan,
Squeaking paddock Springs,
I'm going black out,
And my kodak,
Impression on the sensitive plates of my brain
A slap vision,
I feel my heartbeat passing abruptly mac
Two tick - tock, tick-tock, tick - tock, tick-tock,
Like under an electro-shock,
She (c)was between two macaques,
Of the genre festival Woodstock,
And looked like a guitar rock two jacks,
One has his shell hole, the other has his bullet hole, crack,
Hey Doc, who Me? paranoid?,
So ask the vioque who is a night porter,
At the Roxy Hotel if I unlock,
It's never on the notepad of my memory,
Black over white, and whatever I do,
It'll flash back to me, damn it.,
Until I crack.
