J'ai mis l'espoir à la ferraille
Au terrain vague des manants
Perdu mon âme à courte paille
Joué l'amour avec le vent.
Si le soleil a fait ripaille
Ce n'est pas au ciel de chez moi
Quand il me voit, le printemps s'taille
C'est sûrement pour aller chez toi.
C'est à la foire des gueules tristes
Au tir "la chance aux cocus"
Que j'ai vu mon nom sur la liste
Y a un gros lot et ne pleure plus.
Je ne savais jouer à rien
Et toi qui trichais à l'amour
A la manille des chagrins
Je perdais, tu gagnais toujours.
Tu gagnais au petit matin
Quand je criais pour que tu restes
Quand je te suppliais "Reviens"
En griffant mon cœur à ta veste.
On met l'espoir à la ferraille
On perd sa vie, on perd son temps
Tout se paie à la courte paille
On s'en va seul avec le vent.
