Un soir qu'à l'improviste, je toque
One evening, out of the blue, I knock
Je frappe à ma porte, toc toc
I knock on my door, knock knock
Sans réponse je pousse le loquet
Without response I push the latch
J'écoute gémir le hamac
I listen to the hammock moan
Grincer les ressorts du paddock
Grinding paddock springs
J'avance dans le black
I move forward in the dark
Out et mon Kodak
Out and my Kodak
Impressionne sur les plaques
Impresses on the plates
Sensibles de mon cerveau une vision de claque
Sensitive of my brain a vision of slap
Je sens mon rythme cardiaque
I feel my heartbeat
Qui passe brusquement à mach deux
Which suddenly goes to mach two
Tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac
Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock
Comme sous un électrochoc
Like under an electric shock
Elle était entre deux macaques
She was between two macaques
Du genre festival à Woodstock
Like a festival at Woodstock
Semblait une guitare rock
Seemed like a rock guitar
À deux jacks
With two jacks
L'un a son trou d'obus, l'autre a son trou de balle
One has its shell hole, the other has its bullet hole
Crac
Crack
Hey doc
Hey doc
Qui moi paranoïaque?
Who is paranoid me?
Demandez donc un peu au vioque
Ask the vioque a little
Qui est portier de nuit au Rox
Who is the night porter at the Rox
Si Hôtel si je débloque
If Hotel if I unlock
C'est là, à jamais sur le bloc notes
It's there, forever on the notepad
De ma mémoire black sur white
From my black on white memory
Et quoique je fasse
And whatever I do
Ça me reviendra en flash back, bordel
It'll come back to me in flashback, damn
Jusqu'à ce que j'en claque
Until I snap
