| Mes amis nous allons quelque part dont tout
|
| Le monde
|
| Se rappelle d’un endroit ou l’herbe etait
|
| Toujours verte
|
| Et la fete ne s’arretait jamais
|
| A autour du rocher
|
| This a a little tale about a hotel in the Caribbean
|
| Well it wasn’t really a hotel, it was a patio
|
| Bar with funky rooms and an outdoor disco
|
| With bad wiring. |
| Some people said if you looked
|
| Between the cracks of the floorboards of our
|
| Dance floor you would see Hell. |
| If you ever
|
| Went there, you would know what I’m talking
|
| About. |
| If you never had, then we
|
| Thought we’d send you a little musical souvenir
|
| Some say it was a planet
|
| Some say it was a rock
|
| For five wild years in L"Orient
|
| The party never stopped
|
| There were pirates from the Indies
|
| There were models from Paris
|
| There were locals and New Yorkers
|
| And the Brazilian Navy
|
| By mini-moke and scooters
|
| In cabs and stolen cars
|
| Came the creatures of the evening
|
| From St. Martin and from Mars
|
| Alors, Alors, Alors, Alors alors come on, come on
|
| Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
| On croisera les fantomes du passe
|
| Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
|
| Sur les souvenirs l’herbe a poussee
|
| Girl at the pool table
|
| Puts on a show for free
|
| They were bivouacked in the bathroom
|
| By the hot tub near the sea
|
| Every night at midnight
|
| Seems the devil took control
|
| And the hill became a parking lot
|
| Fueled by rock 'n' roll
|
| They were talking by the cannon
|
| But I couldn’t believe my ears
|
| The Russian had plutonium
|
| The sailor wanted beers
|
| They shook hands in the moonlight
|
| And broke out a big cigar
|
| Just business as usual
|
| Beneath the tropic stars
|
| Alors (come on) alors (let's go) alors
|
| Vien faire in tour autour du rocher
|
| On croisera les fantomes du pass’e
|
| Viens faire un tour autour du richer
|
| Sur les souvinirs l’herbe a poussee
|
| It was better than a painting
|
| At le Musee de Beaux Arts
|
| And simply what we did for fun
|
| Back in the old St. Barts
|
| Then the glitz and all the glamour
|
| Hit like a hurricane
|
| Or maybe we just all grew up
|
| But it never was the same
|
| The gendarmes finally closed the joint
|
| And the fire it did the rest
|
| But on New Year’s Eve of '91
|
| We sang the last request
|
| We were dancing in the ashes
|
| We were dancing in the sea
|
| We were dancing in the ruins
|
| Where we left our memories
|
| Come on let’s go alors
|
| Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
| On croisera les fantomes du pass’e
|
| Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
|
| Sur les souvinirs l’herbe a poussee
|
| Alors. |
| Alors, Alors, Alors
|
| Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
| On croisera les fantomes du pass’e
|
| Viens faire untour autour du rocher
|
| Sur les souvenirs l’herbe a poussee |
