Parker Connais Pas
Johnny Hallyday · Originaux [2010]
C'est le temps qui flambe
Et qui fait'sa loi
Parker, c'était quoi ?
Un homme, simplement
Avec le génie au bout des doigts
"Lover man"
C'était un air comme un autre
"Lover man"
C'était un coeur comme le nôtre
Qui se battait
Et qui souffrait
"Lover man"
C'était comme un cri d'amour
"Lover man"
Pour éloigner les vautours
Mais là où tu es
Charlie, sois pas inquiet
Moi, "Lover man", je connais
La musique, Charlie,
Continue sa vie
Pendant que tu te reposes
Mais t'en fais pas, Charlie,
T'en fais pas, ta vie
A servi à quelque chose
"Lover man"
Quelques accords parmi d'autres
"Lover man"
C'était une voix comme la nôtre
Et qui vibrait
Qui nous parlait.
