What a day, what a day
Waiter, bring me the wine
_____
'Cause I don't feel like stayin' with these people
_____
And I even feel a bit worked up
_____
By these people who ask me for a photo
_____
I'd like to talk to them about themselves
_____
I'm going crazy chasing too many demands
_____
I need, at roll call
_____
For the friends I left in the parking lot
_____
I almost feel guilty
_____
For having had this dirty success
_____
A friend onstage who kills you off it
_____
I'm no good at making up speeches
The tones, even the timing
_____
I speak low, you wouldn't even hear me
_____
At these dinners with guys in ties
_____
I talk with gestures, I don't know their language
_____
For that guy who doesn't have a name anymore
_____
He's on the street, begging for a heart
_____
For that father who shuts his eyes tight
_____
In front of his son to guard his dreams
_____
For these cats waiting awake
_____
For an engine to keep themselves warm
_____
For the memories that break my sleep
_____
And in bed make me spin like a madman
