Paroles de Wax Figures

All those great persons and geniuses Who used to turn the wheel of history Became wax figures In the gallery of Madam Tussot They all stand still in silence Their faces are coloured with paint But their souls are in utmost despair And their heads are supported by spokes Presidents and brilliant actors Those who used to be famous Omnipotent and powerful Turned into speechless dolls All the epochs and countries are mixed there All the tyrants and fighters for freedom Now they all stand like statues Just to amuse people They never feel sadness or anguish They have no dreams of the future But once taken outside and left in the sun They would melt very quickly All those great persons and geniuses Who used to turn the wheel of history Became wax figures... And so did Madam Tussot!
