lyrics

Angélique a un don, celui d’en voler un aux morts
Du moins elle l’avait
Thor à tort il lui fallait retrouver ses menus larcins, car elle avait beau en pâtir, c’était toujours le meilleur moyen de communiquer avec ceux indéfiniment absents
En arrêtant les échanges elle relançait la maladie
Vain abandon quand enfin quelqu’un voulait la voir sourire
A coup de placebos aquarelles elle avait finir par penser que lе problème était dans sa tête comme lеs voix du martien qui se couchait à ses côtés
Le moindre mouvement devenait un appel, dort-elle vraiment ?
Un feu follet sur le val s’apprêtait à s’embraser, jusqu’à ses lèvres
Il aura fallu attendre le Shambhala pour que l’on se parle vraiment…

Nicolas and you and I are chained
You can ask and I cannot explain
This wasn't supposed to be the end this way
Mistakes always replace other mistakes
I need to leave with a begpack

Walking so far with her beg
Walking so far with her begpack
Walking so far with her begpack pretending to forget all the mess

She lost her dog
And also her grandma
But it's nothing compared to losing him

So why is it so hard to fill this void ? Is it broken, or closed for all ?
Take your pills and sleep in Kodeialand
Take your pills and survey behind
Take your pills and say «Society»
Take your pills and vomit it
Throw your pills and listen the Lhamo

"Shazam !"

"Damn !
Damn !"

"- I don't know why this keep happening. I take these amazing women and I ruin them
- I'm not "ruined"
- I don't listen
- It is definitely very annoying how you don't listen
- Thank you ! But you don't have to say nice things just to make me feel better
- What do all of these women have in common ? Young. You keep dating women in their twenties. They're not fully formed yet. Life changes people. You don't ruin these women they just grow up?
- So what you're saying is : They'll all grow up but I'll stay the same age ?
- Or.. you grow up. Beacause otherwise they're gonna keep outgrowing you. You mind if I try ? "

You were my blue eyes
And you were my swimming pool
You and I
My art attack

You are yellow Hailey
Chrysanthem rubellum
Crabs and doggies
My art attack
You are in every verse
I married a souvenir
Ukiyo-e on the wall
My art attack

You are a su-person
Not an illusion
I couldn't see you
My art attack (My art attack)

You were my temperance (You were a chance)
And you were my fury tale (Pari-Banou)
Sutra and Karma (You are Vata)
My art attack (My art attack)

You are a mountain (Snowboard fall)
A top that I can't reach (Tangerine Trip)
Machu and Picchu (You are Macchu)
My art attack (my art attack)

You are Zaha Hadid (Valero)
Kazuyo Sejima (Rintoshite)
Carme Pigem (Hamdard)
My architect (My art attack)

I tried all the dead ends (Consummatum est)
All paths leads to you (Golden bricks)
Rome to Madinina (To Sierra)
My art attack (My art attack)
Who is in the picture ? (Your face)
What name's on the street ? (Your name)
Behind the shadow (Red dwarf)
My heat attack (My heat attack)

Fleeing the death mushroom (Death Trumpets)
Paralysed in my dreams (Lights out)
Surviving on your own (Bovarysme)
My art attack (My art attack)

Tu es le voyage (voyage)
Jupiter du système (Fur Venus)
Toi et moi (et toi)
Ton cœur m'attaque (Ton cœur m'attaque)

You were my grey eyes (my green eyes)
You're everything I need (you're everything)
You and You (and you and you)
My art attack (my art attack)

I was your curly hair (you can touch it)
And I was your headphones (I put on)
Me and you (me)
Your art attack (your art attack)Angélique a un don, celui d’en voler un aux morts
