Slim Black Boogie
Un macchabée dans le caniveau, dédicacé au rasoir,
C`est signé Slim Black Boogie, le tailleur de costard.
L`estomac noué, le verbe haut, un verre de trop, l`oeil au beurre noir,
Slim Black Boogie soliloque au comptoir.
Sonné à grands coups d`boule dans la tirelire à mégots,
Voilà Slim Black Boogie déjà moitié KO.
Mauvais polar de série dingue, deux porte-flingues en ciré noir
Envoient Slim Black Boogie faire un break au placard.
Je veux vivre,
Rester libre.
Je veux m`envoler vers le ciel.
Relaxé quinze ans plus tard d`un quatre-étoiles en béton,
Slim Black Boogie file un mauvais coton.
Dealer de cacahuètes, tireur d`élite à Chicago,
Slim Black Boogie cartonne en solo.
Attaque à main armée, racket, hold-up et kidnapping,
Slim Black Boogie tient le haut du parking.
Mauvais polar de série dingue, deux porte-flingues en ciré noir
Envoient Slim Black Boogie faire un break au placard.
Je veux vivre,
Rester libre.
Je veux m`envoler vers le ciel.
Largué comme un naufragé sans sa bouée de sauvetage,
Slim Black Boogie tourne en rond dans sa cage.
L`estomac creux, le verbe haut, l`oeil au beurre noir et le coeur gros,
Slim Black Boogie s`accroche au barreaux.
Je veux vivre,
Rester libre.
Je veux m`envoler vers le ciel.
