lyrics

Even though you’re born Toulouse, I know you’re gonna die a winner
Try to sleep off all the booze, your mother’s coming up for dinner
New century’s coming down, beware of this perverted town
I know you see things clearly and ugliness to you can be divine
I know you know the difference between a waste of paint and a wasted mind
Hanging out with prostitutes and radicals with no religion
They know that you’re a mental giant trapped inside a gentle midget
Who’s up on the stage tonight? A chanteuse or a sodomite
I know they’re out to get you, they’ll take away your brushes and your wine
They know you’ve got a secret, it’s hiding in your crazy poster life
Oui, il fait chaud a Paris, Non, ne t’inquiete pas Henri
Les gendarmes sont au lit, tu peut boire sans souci
Toutes les putes et les clochards sont animees dans ton art
Tu epates la bourgoisie, c’est pas bientot finis
You’re born to lose, you die a winner
So sing the blues for happy sinners
Another genius gone forever
The copycats are taking over
