La Ballade de Jim

The Ballad of Jim
As she left, Jim is nervous
Jimmy drinks gin in his Chrysler
The peninsula, the seaside boulevard is dumb
As she left, watch out: Jimmy is going in circles
Just last night, his heroine
Held him so tight saying Jim
She was his sedative, his deep alcohol
As she left, watch out: Jimmy is not right
Jimmy, you're strong, but you cry
On the leather of your Chrysler
There the sun collapses into the sea
Jimmy, girls for the heart
Like alcohol and revolvers
It's jumping in the air
Falling to the ground
Boom!
For two years, Jim worked hard
So his starlet could tan on a speedboat
With her, he wanted a baby, no joke
As she left, watch out: Jimmy wants to die
Jimmy, you're strong, but you cry
On the leather of your Chrysler
There the sun collapses into the sea
Jimmy, girls for the heart
Like alcohol and revolvers
It's jumping in the air
Falling to the ground
Boom!
Jimmy is going too fast, Jimmy whines
He smells her perfume on the ledge
The shoelaces, the gravel, and in the evening air
The Chrysler flies into the ferns and water lilies
Jimmy wakes up in the ideal air
The clear paradise of a hospital room
The nurse is an angel and her eyes are green
As she smiles at him, watch out: Jimmy wants to please her
