Nolwenn Leroy

Lyrics Hollywood Nolwenn Leroy

 959

Hollywood


Ma mère dansait dans les bars, imitant Jean Harlow
Mon père lançait les poignards, au cirque, à Buffalo
Puis un jour, on m'a dit "Go West" et moi, j’ai pédalé
De New York à Los Angeles, sur un vélo volé

Alors, j'ai usé mes coudes à frotter les comptoirs
Avec une étoile d'Hollywood qui perdait la mémoire
Le long de Sunset Boulevard, bras dessus bras dessous
On perdait ses derniers dollars dans les machines à sous

Un jour Benjamin Shankar, le cousin ou le frère
Du type qui joue du sitar à la cour d’Angleterre
A gagné aux dés le droit d'être un an son amant
On est allé vivre à trois dans un appartement

On a fait du music-hall déguisés en hindous
Elle dansait en baby doll sur "Rhapsody in Blue"
Elle a fini sous le capot d'une Dodge ou Cadillac
J'ai ramassé son chapeau et l'autre a pris son sac

Elle ramenait des voyageurs, des collégiens timides
Qui pouvaient faire, deux dollars l'heure, quelques Polaroïds
Elle nous mettait dans la cuisine pour ne pas qu'on regarde
En deux mois, on jouait tout Gershwin sur des verres à moutarde

Puis il a continué sa vie d'Hindou errant
Moi, je suis retourné vivre chez mes parents
Ma mère devenait trop laide pour jouer Jean Harlow
Mon père avait tué son aide, au cirque, à Buffalo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
