Hé Lily

Raconte-nous

When she was twenty-two, the future looked bright

But she's nearly thirty now and she's out every night

I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye

She's thinking: How did I get here?

And wondering why

It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over

There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say

C'est vrai, Lily, c'est vrai

Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut

De ses épaules et de son dos

Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau

Elle dit que sa vie se réduit à un petit étui

Elle n'a plus la pupille qui brille, qui scintille et qui pétille

Assise par terre et pas très fière de sa petite carrière

Loin de ce qu'elle rêvait hier, solitaire, trentenaire

It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over

There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say

Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut

De ses épaules et de son dos

Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau

It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over

There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say

Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut

De ses épaules et de son dos

Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau
