Lyrics for Song: Les Vautours
Lyrics for Album: Originaux [2010]
(Jacques Cardona/Étienne Roda-Gil)
Je me réveille souvent le cÅ“ur agité
Des souvenirs d'une nuit trop dure à rêver
Quand les hommes et les femmes vont se coucher
Au fond de leurs palaces de leurs quartiers, cachés.
C'est l'heure du crépuscule, entre chien et loup
Enfin l'heure des chiennes et des loups-garous.
On boit l'alcool qui passe, debout, à genoux.
On se fait des grimaces, parfois on se dit tout.
Je me réveille le cÅ“ur agité
Des souvenirs d'une nuit trop dure à rêver.
Les vautours parlent d'amour, les vautours parlent d'amour
Même les vautours font l'amour.
Quand les hommes et les femmes voudraient s'aimer
Au lieu de remplir des verres, des cendriers.
Je vois le temps qui passe, ici, n'importe où
Dans les sourires de glace, parfois, je deviens fou, fou.
Je me réveille le cÅ“ur agité
Des souvenirs d'une nuit trop dure à rêver.
Les vautours parlent d'amour, les vautours parlent d'amour
Les vautours.
