[Verse 1]
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day

[Verse 2]
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Haussmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars

[Verse 3]
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort ?
Tu te prends pour qui ?
Toi aussi, tu détestes la vie

[Verse 4]
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange, he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone

[Verse 5]
Dans sa chambre, Joël et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joël est barré
