Avant d'ouvrir le gaz elle pense à son canari
Avant d'en finir une fois pour toutes avec la vie
Elle prend la cage et va sur le balcon
Le vent glacé de l'hiver la saisit, lui donne des frissons
Elle a ouvert le gaz et s'allonge sur son lit
Sur le pick-up elle a mis son disque favori
Déjà elle n'a plus toute sa raison
Elle voit d'étranges fleurs, des fleurs bizarres et despapillons
Tandis que sur Londres lentement descend la nuit
Sur le guéridon auprès de la fille endormie
On peut lire griffonné au crayon
Rien que ces quelques mots: Le canari est sur le balcon
