Lyrics
Le dernier bus du TEC, sur la vitre mon front.
Trois heures vingt sur l'horloge du beffroi qui fond.
Ça sent encore l'eau de Javel et l'argent des patrons,
Une architecture de silence où je n'ai pas de nom.
[Chorus]
(Lead) Ô Charleroi,
(Backing harmonies) *Charleroi...*
(Lead) Rends-moi la scorie sous mes pas.
(Backing harmonies) *Sous mes pas...*
[Verse 2]
Je compte les pièces pour un café au matin.
Le cuivre est froid, il a l'usure de mes mains.
"Faut que ça brille, Michel. Comme un miroir sans tain."
J'efface mes propres traces jusqu'au dernier lointain.
[Chorus]
(Lead) Ô Charleroi,
(Backing harmonies) *Charleroi...*
(Lead) Rends-moi la scorie sous mes pas.
(Backing harmonies) *Sous mes pas...*
[Bridge]
Ce halo orange sur les façades qui suintent,
C'est la seule couleur que ma fatigue a éteinte.
Une fissure sur le mur porteur de l'érainte.
[Outro]
Le juste poids.
Juste ça.
