Le petit lapin de Playboy
Playboy's Little Bunny
Ronge mon crâne végétal
Eat my vegetable skull
Shoeshine boy
Shoeshine boy
Qui me roulait entre ses doigts comme du caporal
Who rolled me between his fingers like a corporal
Me suçotait comme un cachou
Sucking me like a fool
Elle savait le dialecte chou
She knew the chou dialect
Pou pou pidou
Pou pou pidou
Tu sais, ma 'Lou
You know, my 'Lou
Dans cette blanche clinique
In this white clinic
Neuro-psychiatrique
Neuro-psychiatric
À force de patience et d'inaction
Through patience and inaction
J'ai pu dresser un hanneton
I was able to train a cockchafer
Sur ma tête héliport d'héli-coléoptère
On my head heli-beetle helipad
De ses élytres d'or refermant l'habitacle
Of its golden elytra closing the cabin
Incline ses antennes
Tilts its antennae
Porteuses d'S.O.S
S.O.S carriers
Mais merde, les phalènes
But damn, moths
Frémissantes de stress
Quivering with stress
Interceptent en vol mes signaux de détresse
Intercept my distress signals in flight
Les parasites de radio poux
Radio lice parasites
Ont brouillé mes messages
Jammed my messages
Fou, que j'étais de toi
Crazy, that I was yours
