Parker Connais Pas

Johnny Hallyday · Originaux [2010]

Parker, connais pas

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.
