He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Qu'est-ce que tu veux de moi ? Remets ton soutien-gorge !
Tes histoires de cul, ça me fout toujours en désordre.
Hé oui, de flirter, c'est bien, c'est le pied sur le frein
Mais tout ce qui s'allume finira par s'éteindre.
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes.
Un matelas par terre, l'odeur de nous dans l'air
T'as forcé la dose, ta force et même si je m'y oppose.
Appelle-moi un taxi ! Non, vraiment, ça suffit !
Je vois plus l'intérêt d'être le con dans ton lit.
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes.
D'où elle vient et où va-t-elle
Cette pleine lune au goût de miel ?
Se cache-t-elle
Parce que tout le monde l'appelle ?
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes, quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.
Tes histoires de cul, ça me fout toujours en désordre.
Hé oui, de flirter, c'est bien, c'est le pied sur le frein
Mais tout ce qui s'allume finira par s'éteindre.
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes.
Un matelas par terre, l'odeur de nous dans l'air
T'as forcé la dose, ta force et même si je m'y oppose.
Appelle-moi un taxi ! Non, vraiment, ça suffit !
Je vois plus l'intérêt d'être le con dans ton lit.
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes.
D'où elle vient et où va-t-elle
Cette pleine lune au goût de miel ?
Se cache-t-elle
Parce que tout le monde l'appelle ?
Oh ! J'en ai marre ! Je ne joue plus à l'imbécile.
Oh ! J'en ai marre de te laisser croire que je suis débile.
Je veux plus tendre la main vers une lune
Qui existe seulement quand tu l'allumes, quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.
Tu m'allumes quand tu l'allumes.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
What do you want from me? Put on your bra again. Your sex life always put me in disorder. Yes, flirting is good, it's the foot on the brake But everything that lights will end by putting itself out.
Oh! I'm fed up! I don't play the foolish one anymore. Oh! I'm fed up with letting you know that I'm stupid. I don't want to give a hand anymore to a moon That only exists when you turn it on.
A mattress on the floor, the smell of us in the air You forced the dose, your force even if I'm opposed to it. Call a cab for me! No, it's really enough. I don't see the point of being the jerk in your bed anymore.
Oh! I'm fed up! I don't play the foolish one anymore. Oh! I'm fed up with letting you know that I'm stupid. I don't want to give a hand anymore to a moon That only exists when you turn it on.
Where does it come from and where does it go This full moon, tasting like honey? Does it hide Because everyone calls it?
Oh! I'm fed up! I don't play the foolish one anymore. Oh! I'm fed up with letting you know that I'm stupid. I don't want to give a hand anymore to a moon That only exists when you turn it on.
You turn me on when you turn it on. You turn me on when you turn it on. You turn me on when you turn it on.
