Skin Lyrics by Sly Johnson

Silvère

2019

[Couplet 1]
D'une touche noire teintée
Frissonnent briques et calots
À l'écho de la cloche sonné
Vint l'hiver à Buffalo
Symphonie pour mineurs en désaccord
En canon chantera la haine
Polyphonie vile, majeur corps à corps
Qu'on me prête un nom pour chasser ma peine
[Refrain]
Let love runnin' through your body
Let love runnin' through your body
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop
[Couplet 2]
Dans la cour de récré
Des jeux de mots et de mains
Mon innocence lacérée
Ce jour mis en examen
L'écume au bord des lèvres a taché
Les couleurs de ma terre
La blonde chimère a cristallisé
Ma douleur dans la chair
[Refrain]
Let love runnin' through your body
Let love runnin' through your body
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop (Buddah!)
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop
[Couplet 3]
Le mal est accompli
Une balle perdue ricoche sans effort
Impacts en toutes zones de mon écorce
Mère patrie me pousse au divorce
Rêve que cette scène de guerre soit du cinéma
Nous, alliés assis au bar sirotant d'la bonne liqueur
Aidons-nous, hors de cette laide ronde infecte
Sauvons-nous, au dehors de nos sectes
On dit que tous les chemins mènent à Rome
N'est-ce point Rome qui extorqua les hommes
Singés selon la norme, Saartje, Kunta
Théo, Bouna, King, Benga?
Condamné à lutter dans l'arène
Bien que mon âme de va-t-en-guerre soit à la traîne
Porte mon cœur lourd pour un tour
De manège car après coup, jouons dans la même cour
[Refrain]
Let love runnin' through your body
Let love runnin' through your body
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop
(Let love runnin' through your body)
Skin makes 'em feel
Makes 'em kill
Makes the bomb drop
(Let love runnin' through your body)
