Staring through your feet,
Lying tongue is tied,
The race is running slow,
Cause the crash is what you like,
Does it really matter,
Which side you are on,
We're told what's up to buy,

Parcourrons la plaine,
Négligeons la pluie,
Ternissons la laine,
Laissons les abris,

Si le ciel nous incite,
A profiter un peu,
De nos retrouvailles,

Sometimes we are real,
Sometimes we get by,
We're owned by what we like,

If it's a murder scam, a clown in drag,
It's entertaining how you feel,
A car that's smashed, child painting laughs,
It's entertaining how you feel,

Allumons les toiles,
Garnissons le vide,
Découvrons les voiles,
Désirons les rides,

Does it really matter,
Which side you are on,
We're told what's up to buy,

Sometimes we are real,
Sometimes we get by,
We're owned by what we like,

Qu'on me donne le courage, la volonté,
De résister au naufrage,
Pourrais-je me séparer de ce doux mirage,

Sometimes we get by.
