Hôtel
Hôtel terminus
Squatté par les poux, les puces,
Punaises, cafards
Et les scarabées noirs
Hôtel
Hôtel des courants d’air
Squatté par les spartacus,
Les vénus de comptoirs
Et les scarabées noirs
C’est l’hôtel des sans-frontières
Des peaux rouges et des peaux noires
De tous les parias d’ la terre
Nés sur le trottoir
Ici, tout l’ monde a la fièvre
Dans le crâne et sous la peau
On rêve, on avance, on crève
Et on repart à zéro
Hôtel abandonné
Araignées au plafond
Scorpions dans la baignoire
Cancrelats dans l’évier
Ici, c’est comme la caverne
Des trésors d’ali baba
Y a au moins quarante rebelles
Prêts pour le combat
Braquer les voleurs des pauvres
Ça leur fait ni chaud ni froid
Vu qu’ les lois sont pas les mêmes
Derrière les barreaux
Ciel ouvert, belle étoile
Squatté par les sans-papiers
Les amants en cavale
Et les scarabées noirs
Terminus belle étoile
Squatté par les poux, les puces,
Punaises, cafards
Et les scarabées noirs
