Bien souvent je me suis réveillé avant le lever du soleil, avant de quitter l'hôtel
Engoncé dans mon complet croisé
Si souvent, j'ai gardé pour moi mes vicissitudes et mes vices
Et tourments, tournis, turpitudes
L'horreur d'un souvenir passé
{Refrain:}
J'attendais en vain
Que le monde entier m'acclame
Qu'il me déclare sa flamme
Dans une orgie haut de gamme
Padam padam padam padam pam pam
Souvent, je me suis pris pour un autre et j'ai fait des doubles fautes
Double sec, double dose, double dame avec les femmes d'un autre
Plus souvent qu'à mon tour j'ai bu le sang des vautours
J'ai cru les gens qui m'entourent
Qui rêvent de bonheur
Mais se foutent éperdument du nôtre
{au Refrain}
Si, souvent, sur la sellette, je rêvais de paillettes, long est le chemin qui mène
À la faillite en presque tous les domaines
Si, souvent, j'ai broyé du noir, du gris, du magenta, du marc, de l'eau-de-vie
De l'art de vivre sans personne qui t'aime
{au Refrain}
Padam padam padam padam pam pam
{au Refrain}
