Nous étions à la guerre
Et quand tout fut fini
Nos cœurs s’étaient enfuis
Dans l’étrange pays
Où brille la lumière
Dans les morceaux de verre
Au palais des miroirs
Qui jonchent les trottoirs
Quel étrange pays
On aime et on oublie
«Quel étrange pays»
Dit l’homme à tête de chien
Mannequins de vitrine
Accoudés aux comptoirs
Sur les amphétamines
Ou tout simplement hagards
Les âmes qui espèrent
Sont comme des lampadaires
Les rêves qui les brisent
Sont leurs douces friandises
«On ne sait pas pourquoi
On ne se souvient pas
De l’étrange pays
On aime et on oublie»
Dit l’homme à tête de chien
Sous la lune du destin
L’araignée du matin
T’enlève ton chagrin
En attendant que le soir
L’araignée espoir
Te fasse perdre la mémoire
Au bout d’un long couloir
Une femme maquillée
Qui fonce dans la nuit
Dérape sur la vie
S’écrase sur l’ennui
Et vole en éclats
La vitre de l’auto
La fête tombe à plat
Plantée dans un poteau
Son corps éparpillé rêve encore çà et là
Ses souvenirs à la fois
Sont à plusieurs endroits
«Et pin-pon les sirènes
Pourvu qu’on me comprenne
Quand je dirai ce que je pense
Au bar de l’insolence! »
Dit l’homme à tête de chien
Sous la lune du destin
L’araignée du matin
T’enlève ton chagrin
En attendant que le soir
L’araignée espoir
Te fasse perdre la mémoire
Au bout d’un long couloir
Le réservoir d’essence
Qui fuit sous l’ambulance
Arrive l’imprudence
Une cigarette qui danse
Et tout explose au ralenti
Dans la voûte infinie
Les néons du paradis
Font des couleurs si jolies
Dans l’étrange pays
On aime et on oublie
Dans l’étrange pays
De l’homme à tête de chien
Sous la lune du destin
L’araignée du matin
T’enlève ton chagrin
En attendant que le soir
L’araignée espoir
Te fasse perdre la mémoire
Et bip-bip les antennes
Des cellulaires en peine
En attendant la mention “j’aime”
De vos faces de carême
Et bling-bling brillent les chaînes
Des pimps et des mécènes
En attendant la mention “j’aime”
De vos faces de carême
Et bling-bling brillent les chaînes
Des pimps et des mécènes
Pourvu que la descente
À la hauteur de vos attentes
De la fête sanglante
