Come stanno i ragazzi
sono quelli di sempre
hanno birra e biliardo
tutti i martedì sera
hanno ancora negli occhi
quello sguardo indecente
verso la cameriera
per la sua scollatura
e fumano ancora Gauloises
adesso che quasi nessuno
fuma più.
Come stanno i ragazzi
pelandroni e indolenti
stanno ancora parlando
di ch c'era e non c'era
hanno ancora negli occhi
quello sguardo sfuggente
se qualcuno gli parla
di un lavoro che dura
e fumano ancora Gauloises
adesso che quasi nessuno
fuma più.
Coma mai
qui tutto è così immobile
da accettare sia un velo di barba
che un velo di polvere
anche a volerci credere
ci son storie d'amore che all'alba
diventano cenere
come mai
se tutto passa in fretta
qui
sembra duri in eterno anche il tempo di una sigaretta.
Come stanno i ragazzi
che vincenti o perdenti
sanno uscire di scena
senza porsi il problema
hanno ancora negli occhi
quello sguardo un pò assente
per quel vuoto che prende
quando scende la sera
e fumano ancora Gauloises
adesso che quasi nessuno
fuma più.
Coma mai
qui tutto è così immobile
da accettare sia un velo di barba
che un velo di polvere
anche a volerci credere
ci son storie d'amore che all'alba
diventano cenere
come mai
se tutto passa in fretta
qui
sembra duri in eterno anche il tempo di una sigaretta.
