Lyrics
Manhattan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Moi, qui ne croyais plus en rien
Tout était monstre à tête de chien
Sous une fenêtre gothique
M'apparut l'infante d'Amérique
Elle avait les bras aussi longs que la mer
Sur ses cuisses, deux revolvers
L'un d'or, l'autre d'acier
Pour qui voulait l'approcher
Ses mains sur ma peau
Sa crinière en flammes
Manhattan
Ses yeux dans le dos
Ont tordu mon âme
Manhattan
Le coeur bien atrophié
Par la peur du danger
J'allais m'asseoir à sa table
Sans me sentir coupable
Mais comme toute apparition
Il n'y a pas de moralisation
Du doigt elle me montre un portique
Sur lequel est marqué « exit »
Ses mains sur ma peau
Sa crinière en flammes
Manhattan
Ses yeux dans le dos
Ont tordu mon âme
Manhattan
Des poussières d'échos
Dans la cathédrale
Manhattan
Dites aux héros
De ranger les armes
Manhattan
