Psychopompes, métempsychose et sportswear


Enfant de la balle et de la tête
Je peignais mes dazibaos
Sur "l'incertitude du poète"
Qu'on croise au gré des noirs échos
Et j'ai bu la lie de ses vers
Jusqu'à la fièvre de l'écume
Mais son vin était si amer
Que je suis dev'nu l'amertume
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

Prototype dans un groupe en loque
Au fond d'impossibles garages
Je poussais mes troupeaux de phoques
Loin à l'intérieur des nuages
Et j'ai combattu leur messie
A m'en péter l'excalibur
Pendant qu'les coqs de l'insomnie
Chantaient trois fois leur imposture
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

De port en port, de quai en quai
J'ai rencontré de drôles de gnomes
Des intellos qui confondaient
C.G. Jung avec C. Jérôme
Et glauque à Santa-Barbara
Avec un sacré mal de vivre
Je me disais : je ne sais pas
Pourquoi j'vais comme un bateau-ivre
Santa-Barbara je ne sais pas

De sanibroyeur en sixtine
Je vois s'évanouir le futur
Et je tire à la chevrotine
Sur les chiennes en manteau d'fourrure
Je vois l'ivrogne et son tambour
Assis devant mon chevalet
Et Mona Lisa, mon amour
Dans un blindé cabriolet
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

La vie défile au nom du Christ
Des pissotières du pain rassis
Staline était séminariste
Et Jerry Lee Lewis aussi
Mais le dieu manque à cet hôtel
Où je dois jouer les victimes
En contractant des salmonelles
Avec des hosties aux enzymes
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

A r'garder passer les linceuls
Dans la rue aux spectres visqueux
J'sais plus si c'est moi qui suis seul
Ou les autres qui sont trop nombreux
OK l'art est une escroquerie
Et j'ai limé trop d'as de coeur
En jouant : Blue moon Kentucky
Sous l'oeil du colonel Parker
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

Et quand le Pinocchio baveux
Poussera ma brouette à l'ankou
J'veux faire des bulles avec mon noeud
Pour éloigner les loups-garous
J'veux qu'on m'déglace au gin Synthol
Dans une boîte de Joseph Cornell
Ou à la vodka chez Warhol
Avec du tomato Campbell's
Nike your mother, Reebok your sister
Et Adidas rock'n'roll
Nike ta mère, Reebok ta soeur
Et Adidas rock'n'roll

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
