lyrics

De la brume nous apparaît une cité à perte de vue
Puis plaqués par le soleil les bâtiments du centre s’effritent s’érodent
Des canaux presque à sec sec nous conduisent sous les arcades
Pour manger un bout de mollusque chaud et vivant préparé dans les règles de l’art

Même si ce n’est qu’un rêve pourquoi ne pas le suivre

Des marchands de poissons, d’aquariums et de mollusques
Oui demain je descendrai à l’hôtel de ville pour les papiers
Des réverbères pour étudier le soir dans la rue la nuit
Oui l’éducation c’est important elle seule nous sauvera

Même si ce n’est qu’un rêve pourquoi ne pas le suivre

Des soldats sortis de la pénombre nous réclament quelques billets
Les vapeurs de nuit cette lumière étrange des néons sur les murs de parpaings gris
Sous les palmiers et la végétation de la cité
Si nous la tuons nous mourrons

Même si ce n’est qu’un rêve pourquoi ne pas le suivre
