lyrics

Les poupées mécaniques

Aux marches du Palais
Un funambule
Se balançait

Un nuage de fumée
Dilatant la
Réalité

Sur le balcon flottant
Trois clowns hilares
Vont persiflant

Célébrant la violence
Quand d’autres voy-
agent en avance

Des poupées mécaniques
Dansent à s’en décrocher bras, tête et jambes
Toute l’assemblée du cirque
Unie pour fêter le désarmement

De mon lit, je me lève
Ma main vient cher-
cher la lumière

Mais le clown en stratège
me tient enfer-
mée dans le rêve

Des poupées mécaniques
Dansent à s’en décrocher bras, tête et jambes
Toute l’assemblée du cirque
Unie pour fêter le désarmement

J’entends les cris de tes amies les hyènes,
Qui se tordent de délire
Dans le velours des chiffres théoriques

J'entends les pas de tes petits soldats
Disposés à tirer
Sur les poupées mécaniques

Mechanical dolls

By the steps of the Palace
A tightrope walker
Was swaying

A cloud of smoke
Dilating the
Reality

On the floating balcony
Three hilarious clowns
Go taunting

Celebrating violence
When other are
travelling in advance

Mechanical dolls
Are dancing til come loose arms, head and legs
The whole circus assembly
United to celebrate disarmament

From my bed, I get up
My hand comes to
Reach light

But the clown as a strategist
Keeps me locked
Into the dream

Mechanical dolls
Are dancing til come loose arms, head and legs
The whole circus assembly
United to celebrate disarmament

I hear the cries of your friends, the hyenas,
Who are twisting in delirium
In the velvet of theoretical figures

I hear the footsteps of your little soldiers
Willing to fire on mechanical dolls
