Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day

Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars

Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui?
Toi aussi tu detestes la vie

Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone

Dans sa chambre, Joеl et sa valise
Un regard sur sеs fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Stange
