L'appel de la cite


C'est l'appel de la cité qui m'a un jour envoûté
Et qui m'a fait m'éloigner de la campagne où je suis né
Pour travailler à la ville, ma famille j'ai dû quitter
C'est comme ma nature tranquille qui ne tient plus que du passé
Un mariage contre-nature, entre la chair et l'acier
Parqué entre tout ces murs qui me retiennent prisonnier
Je ne sais pas c'que je fous là, c'est aussi triste que dommage
Car comme se font rares les emplois, je vis d'assurance-chômage...
Mais on s'habitue à la ville, je crois même qu'elle sécurise
C'est d'une façon subtile qu'elle exerce son emprise
On s'habitue aux boulevards qu'on fréquente le soir tard
Aux salles de jeux et aux bars, animés de toutes parts
Dans cette atmosphère enfumée, où je m'efforce d'exister
S'échangent des regards sirupeux, prescrits par des commerces douteux
Et flotte encore sous les néons l'odeur âcre de la déception
Les plaisirs interdits auront toujours un goût de perdition...
Sur les terrains vagues comme dans les ruelles humides
Partout où je divague je me heurte au vide
De la marque urbaine, de cette cité maudite
Métropole inhumaine où tout se passe trop vite
Mais je l'aime malgré tout d'un sourire complice
Cette ville de fous don't je suis un peu le fils
Car on est jamais aussi aveugle qu'on peut l'être quand tout s'écroule
Et on est jamais aussi seul qu'on peut l'être dans une foule...
