En haut de la rue St-VincentUn poète et
une inconnueS'aimèrent l'espace d'un instantMais il ne l'a
jamais revueCette chanson il composaEspérant que son inconnueUn
matin d'printemps l'entendraQuelque part au coin d'une rueLa
lune trop blêmePose un diadèmeSur tes cheveux rouxLa
lune trop rousseDe gloire éclabousseTon jupon plein d'trousLa
lune trop pâleCaresse l'opaleDe tes yeux blasésPrincesse de
la rueSoit la bienvenueDans mon cœur blesséLes escaliers
de la butte sont durs aux miséreuxLes ailes
des moulins protègent les amoureuxPetite mandigoteJe sens ta
menotteQui cherche ma mainJe sens ta poitrineEt ta
taille fineJ'oublie mon chagrinJe sens sur tes lèvresUne
odeur de fièvreDe gosse mal nourriEt sous ta
caresseJe sens une ivresseQui m'anéantitLes escaliers de la
butte sont durs aux miséreuxLes ailes des moulins
protègent les amoureuxMais voilà qu'il flotteLa lune se
trotteLa princesse aussiSous le ciel sans luneJe pleure
à la bruneMon rêve évanoui
