Parigot

From Paris

I look, I have enough breath
To talk for hours by heart on the bar
I look old-fashioned, I show off
Over a drink, I hold the helm, I clink glasses
Prosperous postman is my livelihood
I put the turbo on my bike
My spare tire is the local bar
The descent makes my head spin

From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth
I speak in slang and gossip
I spout them with my head
From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth
I speak in slang and gossip
I spout them, I eject them

I look like a philistine with my stallion face
And every night I make the boss laugh
The 5th is at paulette's
We get up our drinks, we're on high
I look confident, I feel like
I'm on deck and it's chaos
On my boat, it's his burden
It's almost time to go strangle the field mouse

From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my beak
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell it with my head
From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my beak
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell it, I eject it

I'm the captain
The captain, I'm in command
It's my turn, there are those who stick their tongues out
It's my hq
Every evening I meet up with my gang

From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my beak
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell them with my head
From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell them, I eject them

All over the neighborhood, they know us and our stories will stay in this bar
We're light, we're hilarious
To forget that we'll still be alone tonight
There's my city, there are the people
At the end of the street, there's my little apartment
There's my heart still beating
Under my cap, there's my head

From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell them with my head
From Paris, from Paris
And my cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth
I speak in slang and the gossip
I tell them, I eject them
