lyrics

Once, I was Le Dauphin
Loved by all creatures and man
The acrobat of life
White paint on my face
Blue roses in my hand

I tumbled a great distance
In the heat of flash-bulb fires
Disfigured in the dawn
The circus had moved on
And my name had been retired

Tomber, tomber, tomber!
Pour la vie d'être révélé
Tomber, tomber, tomber!
Un homme doit s'agenouiller

I vanished to the country
My bed made where I lay
A desultory minstrel
Learning how to ponder
Forgetting how to slay

Refrain

Devilry desiccated
The prince was laid to rest
With one last verse of Wilde
White paint on his cross
Blue roses on his chest

Refrain

The harlequin turned ascetic
I simply cut my hair
To till a patch of soil
Ignore the catch of girls
Regardless of their bodies young and fair

Refrain

But I dream in Italian movies
Dark sunglasses, cigarettes and ties
The allure of austerity fades
Con Anouk Aimée
La luce de roma in my eyes

Tombez, tombez, tombez!
Je ne suis pas un saint
Tombez, tombez, tombez!
Je veux vivre dans un film italien
