Manhattan Monotone
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.
Les dingues des buildings déambulent
Les taxis ont la jaunisse
Les néons, les pubs majuscules
New York existe
C'est trop grand pour moi,
Qu'est-ce que je fais là
Dans cette ville dessinée ?
Peter Stuyvesant, si tu voyais
Ta pomme bien aimée
Je l'ai croquée, c'est bizarre
Le goût qu'elle a, la star
{Refrain:}
Manhattan monotone
J' suis en panne comme une pomme
On m' disait que t'avais tout
Dans ta rondeur, y a des trous
Manhattan monotone
Je suis Diane, pas Lennon
Il t'appelait centre du monde
T'as pris la tête, Manhattan
Ton p'tit billet vert et tes gadgets
Les maisons qui grattent le ciel
Harlem, ton village et ses poètes
Ca donne des ailes
Tu fais couler beaucoup d'encre
Graffiti pour les cancres
Hold on !
{au Refrain}
Pourtant tu as le son
Et ça, c'est vraiment bon
Et le vent dans le béton
Qui vient de l'océan, souvent, souvent
Manhattan monotone
J' suis en panne et ça m'étonne
On m' disait que t'avais tout
Dans ta rondeur, y a des trous
Manhattan monotone
Je suis Diane, pas Lennon
Il t'appelait centre du monde
T'as pris la tête, Manhattan
