Je suis l'enfant dressé sur les places publiques
Maquillé par le temps, j'ai cinq siècles et demi
Je connais de la vie paroles et musique
Je fais peur quelquefois mais j'ai beaucoup d'amis
Je joue du tambourin pour les anniversaires
De ces dieux moribonds tournant au gré des vents
Que sont l'orgueil, la peur ou le désir de plaire
Vieillard, l'âge est venu d'avoir peur des enfants
L'enfant maquillé
Je suis l'enfant maquillé
Je n'ai pas de parents, je n'ai pas de patrie
Je parle avec les mains pour quelques initiés
Et je sais travestir ma sagesse en folie
Pour faire peur aux notaires, aux prêtres, aux épiciers
Je suis né, j'en ai peur, dans une cathédrale
À deux pas d'un bordel et d'un bain de vapeur
Ne vous étonnez pas si j'aime le scandale
Je suis de ces enfants dont il faut avoir peur
L'enfant maquillé
Je suis l'enfant maquillé
Un enfant qui ressemble à vos rêves imbéciles
Ceux que vous oubliez à l'instant du réveil
Je n'ai pas pour mission de vous laisser tranquille
Archange déguisé ou diable, c'est pareil
Que ça vous plaise ou non, je suis de votre époque
Un enfant maquillé qui a beaucoup vécu
Je vous laisse en partant mon rire et ma défroque
Je suis l'enfant trouvé que vous avez perdu
L'enfant maquillé
Je suis l'enfant maquillé
Je suis l'enfant maquillé, perdu
