L'âge idiot, c'est à vingt fleurs
Quand le ventre brûle de faimQu'on croit se laver le cœur
Rien qu'en se lavant les mainsQu'on a les yeux plus grands que le ventreQu'on a les yeux plus grands que le cœurQu'on a le cœur encore trop tendreQu'on a les yeux encore pleins de fleurs
Mais qu'on sent bon les champs de luzerneL'odeur des tambours mal battusQu'on sent les clairons refroidis
Et les lits de petite vertu
Et qu'on s'endort toutes les nuits
Dans les casernes L'âge idiot, c'est à trente fleurs
Quand le ventre prend naissance
Quand le ventre prend puissanceQu'il vous grignote le cœur
Quand les yeux se font plus lourds
Quand les yeux marquent les heures
Eux qui savent qu'à trente fleurs
Commence le compte à reboursQu'on rejette les vieux dans leur caverneQu'on offre à Dieu des bonnets d'âneMais que le soir on s'allume des feux
En frottant deux cœurs de femmes
Et qu'on regrette déjà un peu
Le temps des casernes L'âge idiot c'est soixante fleurs
Quand le ventre se ballotte
Quand le ventre ventripoteQu'il vous a bouffé le cœur
Quand les yeux n'ont plus de larmes
Quand les yeux tombent en neige
Quand les yeux perdent leurs pièges
Quand les yeux rendent les armesQu'on se ressent de ses amours
Mais qu'on se sent des patiences
Pour de vieilles sur le retour
Ou des trop jeunes en partance
Et qu'on se croit protégé
Par les casernes L'âge d'or c'est quand on meurtQu'on se couche sous son ventreQu'on se cache sous son ventre
Les mains protégeant le cœurQu'on a les yeux enfin ouverts
Mais qu'on ne se regarde plusQu'on regarde la lumière
Et ses nuages pendusL'âge d'or c'est après l'enferC'est après l'âge d'argentOn redevient petit enfant
Dedans le ventre de la terreL'âge d'or c'est quand on dort
Dans sa dernière caserne
