Parisienne Walkways - The Shadows

Lorsque je suis arrivée Dans la capitale, J'aurais voulu devenir Une femme fatale Mais je ne buvais pas, Je ne me droguais pas Et je n'avais aucun complexe. Je suis beaucoup trop normale, ça me vexe. Je ne suis pas parisienne. Ça me gêne, ça me gêne. Je ne suis pas dans le vent. C'est navrant, c'est navrant. Aucune bizarrerie, Ça m'ennuie, ça m'ennuie. Pas la moindre affectation, Je ne suis pas dans le ton. Je ne suis pas végétarienne, Ça me gêne, ça me gêne. Je ne suis pas karatéka, Ça me met dans l'embarras. Je ne suis pas cinéphile, C'est débile, c'est débile. Je ne suis pas M.L.F., Je sens qu'on m'en fait grief, M'en fait grief. Bientôt j'ai fait connaissance D'un groupe d'amis Vivant en communauté Dans le même lit. Comme je ne buvais pas, Je ne me droguais pas Et n'avais aucun complexe, Je crois qu'ils en sont restés Tout perplexes. Je ne suis pas nymphomane, On me blâme, on me blâme. Je ne suis pas travesti, Ça me nuit, ça me nuit. Je ne suis pas masochiste, Ça existe, ça existe. Pour réussir mon destin, Je vais voir le médecin. Je ne suis pas schizophrène, Ça me gêne, ça me gêne. Je ne suis pas hystérique, Ça se complique, ça se complique. Oh! dit le psychanalyste, Que c'est triste, que c'est triste. Je lui dis: Je désespère, Je n'ai pas de goûts pervers, De goûts pervers Mais si, me dit le docteur En se rhabillant, Après ce premier essai, C'est encourageant. Si vous ne buvez pas, Vous ne vous droguez pas Et n'avez aucun complexe, Vous avez une obsession: C'est le sexe Depuis je suis à la mode, Je me rôde, je me rôde Dans les lits de Saint-Germain, C'est divin, c'est divin. Je fais partie de l'élite, Ça va vite, ça va vite Et je me donne avec joie Tout en faisant du yoga. Je vois des films d'épouvante, Je m'en vante, je m'en vante En serrant très fort la main Du voisin, du voisin. Me sachant originale, Je cavale, je cavale. J'assume ma libido. Je vais draguer en vélo. Maintenant je suis parisienne. Je me surmène, je me surmène Et je connais la détresse Et le cafard et le stress. Enfin à l'écologie, Je m'initie, je m'initie Et loin de la pollution, Je vais tondre mes moutons Et loin de la pollution, Je vais tondre mes moutons Et loin de la pollution, Je vais tondre mes moutons Mes moutons Mes moutons Mes moutons

And one night as I closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for a while (Let me show you love baby) He said always I will stay (yeah, oh no) And always I will stay (yeah) I will stay I said Don't you say I was lost Gave you my all you dey form Gave you my love and my trust Don't you say it's not enough But I believe in her You know ama stick it up Running it up I just be keeping it real Cause all That I do you know it's gone come with a cost Taking my time on this beat you Know I'm gone floss Al4red gone blow that's a must I do this shit with no force my mind on the grind I keep on heading to the Top But I'm fucking her friend and her Friend and her friend At the at the back at the back at The back of the trunk I just be keeping it up Till the beat gone rhyme with the whiskey Throw that ass right back like a Frisbee Yeah I beat like an animal Yeah this shit is so critical I'm killing this shit I'm a murderer She said she's gone follow up My hand on the gear While she speeding up And I know she's so spiritual She blowing my dick like a harmonica And I'm taking my time you know You know that I live in the wild You know And I took that shit personal When I heard you was banging the gang you know And one night as i closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for a while (Let me show you love baby) He said You did me wrong How you gone say is my fault Fell for your love cause I was deep in the mud Taking this drugs can not be stuck In my thoughts Gave you my all But you let me fall But I still stand tall Keep moving all day like a rolling ball Why you gone call if you don't want to talk I just want to be alone for the time that's all Don't say that you ride when you know your lost And I don't even try to force I move like a gee Cannot dwell on a loss I've been on a roll like my life is a bus Why you gone say that I move in a rush When I be taking time and living it up Yeah I be keeping it up Say you gone disconnect I'm breaking it up Keeping my shit on a hush I'm on a low except I'm making a buzz I do not do remorse Say you gon' leave I guess we opening doors Starting this shit from the top Run the beat back let me spill out the fuss Switch up on me you'll get crossed For better or worse This is as real as it was Sharing my buis with the ops This type of shit I can never adore Saw all the signs from the start I blame it on faith making me think I was yours (And one night as I closed my eye) I close my eyes (I saw a shadow drawing near) I see your shadows (He came to me with the sweetest smile) (Told me he wanted to talk for a while) (Let me show you love baby) He said Don't you take my love Give you all that I've got and more Don't you say that my love ain't enough Girl you know you was wrong I said don't you take my love Give you all that I've gotten and more Don't you say that my love ain't enough Don't you say that my love ain't enough And one night as I closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk

Pour yourself another drink Light a cigarette And let the smoke hide you Medicate the pain away Live to see another day Sleep the whole night through Your secret Just feed it God knows how much you need it Why you gotta hide Why you gotta hide Why you gotta run? What you gotta do What you gotta do All is set and done Why you got afraid What's it gonna take for you to be someone? Everybody knows Your shadows, You go when the light goes When the light goes Kiss yourself another stranger 'cause You know you love the danger, don't you? Give yourself to someone new Every night is what you do Your secret Just feed it... God knows how much you need it Why you gotta hide Why you gotta hide Why you gotta run? What you gotta do. What you gotta do All is set and done Why you got afraid What's it gonna take for you to be someone? Everybody knows... Your shadows You go when the light goes (When the light goes) When the light goes (When the light goes) When the light goes (When the light goes.) When the light goes Only you know Your shadows You go when the light goes (When the light goes.) When the light goes (When the light goes.) When the light goes
