Johnny Hallyday was a working-class hero,
From the torn seams of French society---
He put his hand on Christ’s head
And bled out like a waterfall,
I don’t know which eyes were watching
this world in their cosmic zoot suits,
But Brigitte Bardot was in there somewhere
Hiding out w/ Supergirl, her vampire’s teeth
biting only vegetables while he sings his song on one knee;
Maria Callas came by and gave him a kiss
In her silver time-bending suit---
He’s the last zazou and immortal like u
But her twin comets are falling to earth
In tandem with the time it takes
for one man to fall and rise and fall
and rise again like so many others---
He ****** Twiggy and four wives (not once but twice)
All while playing guitar, his talent extraterrestrial
from the ravaged streets of collaborators---
(shaved head dolly ***** by old men in the filthy Paris street)---
He ****** Twiggy twice & she loved it
in her English way---
