Mes amis nous allons quelque part dont tout le monde Se rappelle d'un endroit ou l'herbe etait toujours verte Et la fete ne s'arretait jamais A autour du rocher This a a little tale about a hotel in the Caribbean. Well it wasn't really a hotel, it was a patio bar with funky rooms and an outdoor disco with bad wiring. Some people said if you looked between the cracks of the floorboards of our dance floor you would see Hell. If you ever went there, you would know what I'm talking about. If you never had, then we thought we'd send you a little musical souvenir. Some say it was a planet Some say it was a rock For five wild years in L"Orient The party never stopped There were pirates from the Indies There were models from Paris There were locals and New Yorkers And the Brazilian Navy By mini-moke and scooters In cabs and stolen cars Came the creatures of the evening From St. Martin and from Mars Alors, Alors, Alors, Alors alors come on, come on Vien faire un tour autour du rocher On croisera les fantomes du passe Viens faire un tour autour du rocher Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee Girl at the pool table puts on a show for free They were bivouacked in the bathroom By the hot tub near the sea Every night at midnight Seems the devil took control And the hill became a parking lot Fueled by rock 'n' roll They were talking by the cannon But I couldn't believe my ears The Russian had plutonium The sailor wanted beers They shook hands in the moonlight And broke out a big cigar Just business as usual Beneath the tropic stars Alors(come on) alors (let's go) alors Vien faire in tour autour du rocher On croisera les fantomes du pass'e Viens faire un tour autour du richer Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee It was better than a painting At le Musee de Beaux Arts And simply what we did for fun Back in the old St. Barts Then the glitz and all the glamour Hit like a hurricane Or maybe we just all grew up But it never was the same The gendarmes finally closed the joint And the fire it did the rest But on New Year's Eve of '91 We sang the last request We were dancing in the ashes We were dancing in the sea We were dancing in the ruins Where we left our memories Come on let's go alors Vien faire un tour autour du rocher On croisera les fantomes du pass'e Viens faire un tour autour du rocher Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee Alors. Alors, Alors, Alors Vien faire un tour autour du rocher On croisera les fantomes du pass'e Viens faire untour autour du rocher Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee
