Le monde est stone | The World Is Stone | |
J'ai la tête qui éclate | My head, it aches | |
Je voudrais seulement dormir | I only want to sleep | |
M'étendre sur l'asphalte | Lying on the asphalt | |
Et me laisser mourir | Leave me to die | |
Stone | Stone | |
Le monde est stone | The world is stone | |
Je cherche le soleil | I search for the sun | |
Au milieu de la nuit | In the middle of the night | |
Je sais pas si c'est la terre | I don't know if it's the earth | |
Qui tourne à l'envers | That's turned upside down | |
Ou bien si c'est moi | Or if it is me | |
Qui me fait du cinéma | That makes me cinema | |
Qui me fais mon cinéma | Which makes me my cinema | |
Stone | Stone | |
Le monde est stone | The world is stone | |
J'ai plus envie de me battre | I don't want to fight | |
J'ai plus envie de courir | I don't want to run | |
Comme tous ces automates | Like all these automata | |
Qui bâtissent des empires | Who form the empires | |
Que le vent peut détruire | That the wind will destroy | |
Comme des châteaux de cartes | Like a house of cards | |
Stone | Stone | |
Le monde est stone | The world is stone | |
Je cherche le soleil | I search for the sun | |
Au milieu de ma nuit | In the middle of my night | |
Laissez-moi me débattre | Leave me to struggle | |
Ne venez pas me secourir | Don't rescue me | |
Venez plutôt m'abattre | Come and shoot me | |
Pour m'empêcher de souffrir | To keep me from suffering | |
J'ai la tête qui éclate | My head, it aches | |
Je voudrais seulement dormir | I only want to sleep | |
M'étendre sur l'asphalte | Lying on the asphalt | |
Et me laisser mourir | Leave me to die | |
Et me laisser mourir | Leave me to die | |
The World Is Stone | ||
Stone, the world is stone | ||
It's no trick of the light, it's hard on the soul | ||
Stone, the world is stone, cold to the touch | ||
And hard on the soul in the gray of the streets | ||
In the neon unknown, I look for a sign | ||
That I'm not on my own, that I'm not here alone | ||
As the still of the night and the choke of the air | ||
And the winners' delight and the losers' despair | ||
Closes in left and right, I would love not to care | ||
Stone, the world is stone from a faraway look | ||
Without stars in my eyes through the halls of the rich | ||
And the flats of the poor wherever I go | ||
There's no warmth anymore | ||
There's no love anymore | ||
So I turn on my heels, I'm declining the fall | ||
I've had all I can take with my back to the wall | ||
Tell the world I'm not in, I'm not taking the call | ||
Stone, the world is stone but I saw it once | ||
With the stars in my eyes when each color rang out | ||
In a thunderous chrome, it's no trick of the light | ||
I can't find my way home in a world of stone | ||
