Kid brodeur
Richard Desjardins Lyrics

Kid Brodeur prospecteur d’espérance,
sur une mule astrale
parcourt le monde et les cœurs.
Kid Brodeur desperado
chevauche le grand chien gris
loin de sa terre natale.
Kid Brodeur au cœur brûlé
sous le soleil de Louisiana,
Kid Brodeur déboussolé
dans le salon de sa maman

Kid Brodeur Boudha perdu
parmi les buveurs de vin,
ton mantra s’allume et s’éteint
au néon fou du Karma Bar

Ton mantra s’allume et s’éteint
au néon fou du Karma bar
