Airport, terminal
but for all the gold, leaving
it's the blues, the blues
checkout guaranteed
night comes and the hour strikes
and I die
between apathy and heaviness
where I remain
change perspective, take the exit
and send myself to America
sex appeal, it's Sunset
it's Marlboro smiling at me
my love, my self, I
know it exists
the warmth of abandonment
it's like a symphony

the California sky is sexy
beneath my skin I have an overdose of L.A.
so sexy the spleen of a road movie
in the rearview mirror my life is anamorphosing

I no longer have an ID, but the idea
of paying for the freeway
it's osmosis, on the road
asphalt underfoot
night comes, It's jet lag
that's throwing me off-kilter
L.A.P.D. gives me a reprimand
it's not a big deal
going on a trip, treating yourself to a strip
under the midday sun
6 a.m., I'm jet-lagged
I'm ice in the water, I'm melodramatic, tell me
my love, my Wesson
my artifice
the heat of the gun
it's like a symphony

the California sky is sexy
beneath my skin I've got an overdose of L.A.
so sexy the blues of a road movie
in the rearview mirror my life is anamorphosing

Nice voice, beautiful face 

Oow, right in my Romanian childhood

Ah, so it isn't just my grandfather who pronounces it "Californy"

Tu n'es pas encore tombé sur Zaz... 

Even  if she's famous, even (or because) i'm french, I just consider this song as a bad marketing product.
Maybe the first time, in years, of a bad surprise on RP : Oh, no, not her !

Mylène Farmer are part of my top 5 favourite music artists!
alongside Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, Billie Holiday and most of all The Beatles!
Please play more of her

Did you just well, actually a person's nationality? Wikipedia says she's a Canadian-born French singer. Was she singing in French? Hence, French singer. 

C'est sexy la voix, le visage, l'atmosphere du chanson, e elle est très, très chic 😊

Reading the Wikipedia information...if she's born in Canada, her nationality is not French.

Damn! 

This is a throwback, and it still holds up. I haven't thought about it in forever. The music video for this got a fair amount of airplay on MusiquePlus (the French Canadian equivalent of MuchMusic, which itself was the Canadian equivalent of MTV).  It was quite risque.

It is called "Plastic surgery" 

fell in love with Mylene 20 years ago living in Switzerland. her videos are legendary

8 just for the cover photo

This song while testing 240 km/h (150 mph) in a rented Mercedes on the highway from Stuttgart to Strasbourg. 

Thanks for the flashback.

Another artist that I would never heard of if not for RP.
I  get the "sexy" part of the lyrics, but that is all.

Going with a 6 rating to start off.

Je l'ai croisée en 91 au Père Lachaise ... Par contre sa voix toujours aussi insupportable elle a pas changée non plus ... Mais bon elle a un public et il faut pas lui retirer tous ses efforts. C'est une pro

Top depuis bientôt 40 ans !!!!

Ahah ! I love RP :)
Mylene Farmer is very famous in France, each concert she makes is a big (and expensive) event, and she likes to maintain shadows around her private life and runs away from media.
Anyway, it's been more than 30 years now she sings, and what she does is still amazing and very current.
BTW, she's almost 60 and looks like 25. I want to know what she eats (or does not eat ^^ ) 
I invite you to see some of her concerts online

I'd forgotten about Mylene, this whole album is stellar!

Surprisingly good
