lyrics

Serpent mécanique
Force électrostatique
La vapeur grimpe dans les conduits
Pousse les pistons
Et fait bouger la machine
Active ses turbines
Fendant la nuit toute vitesse
L'entends tu qui arrive?

Imagine, imagine!

Masse volumétrique
Propriétés chimiques
Tout l'intérieur est sollicité
Pendant le déplacement
Des rouages amovibles
Et d'engrenages mobiles
Elle finira sa trajectoire
Au fond du ravin

Imagine, imagine!

Tourments éphémères
Pourtant solaire
La pression fuit dans les airs
Si tu me regarde
Me jeter de l'arbre
Je t'en prie n'en dis rien
Je n'ai pas peur
Aurais tu l'heure ?
J'ai oublié mon destin
Dans les détours et les carrefours
Jusqu'à revenir par le même chemin

Et nos âmes sont perdues
Elles ne grandiront plus

Retourne la cassette
Et viens danser avec moi
Quand demain ne sortira plus
Par notre fenêtre
Et s'il est encore temps
Regarde le firmament
Fais un voeu et sens toi un peu mieux
De tenir ma main

Imagine, imagine!
