À trop forte dose
Too high a dose
Des éléphants roses
Pink elephants
Des araignées sur le plastron
Spiders on the breastplate
De mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Des chauves-souris au plafond
Bats on the ceiling
Du living-room
From the living room
Dis-moi quelque chose
Tell me something
Comme un marbre rose
Like a pink marble
Aussi glacé que le plastron
As frozen as the breastplate
De mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Aussi pâle que le plafond
As pale as the ceiling
Du living-room
From the living room
Ne dit plus grand chose
Don't say much anymore
Ces éléphants roses
These pink elephants
Ces araignées sur le plastron
These spiders on the plastron
De mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Ces chauves-souris au plafond
These bats on the ceiling
Du living-room
From the living room
Dis-moi quelque chose
Tell me something
Comme un marbre rose
Like a pink marble
Aussi glacé que le plastron
As frozen as the breastplate
De mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Aussi pâle que le plafond
As pale as the ceiling
Du living-room
From the living room
