Mariages d'un jour


Mariages d'un jour sans passion, sans argent
Mariages de paumés, à la barbe des gens
Dans un hôtel pouilleux ou au bois de Vincennes
Ou debout sous un pont, sur les bords de la Seine

Comme des chiens perdus engendrent des bâtards
Combien d'enfants sans nom j'ai fait sur les boulevards ?
A cette heure où la ville est une salle d'attente
Pleine de va-nu-pieds, de putains et de tantes
Mariages parfaits de l'ombre et du soleil
Noces sans lendemain, amour d'un seul réveil
Avec toi, avec moi, avec lui, avec l'autre
C'est ainsi que Jésus a choisi ses apôtres

{Refrain:}
J'aime ces heures-là où les hommes ont l'air vrai
Ils arrachent leurs masques, exhibent leurs portraits
Vrais comme un papillon à la lueur des lampes
Comme au confessionnal, comme aux feux de la rampe

Les soldats humiliés par les filles sans cœur
Aiment les filles qui se donnent pour des fleurs
Les filles de joie se font une douce violence
Et s'offrent un général pas sorti de l'enfance
La nuit, ne dit-on pas que tous les chats sont gris ?
Et les hiboux hideux ressemblent à des perdrix
Docteur Jekyll s'en va, il quitte le Seizième
Pour jouer les Dracula près de celle qu'il aime
Les aveugles, contents de l'être moins que nous,
Vont et ne mettent pas leurs bottes dans la boue
Ils rient du bruit joyeux de nos pieds dans les flaques
Et du cri des bourgeois que les voyous attaquent

{au Refrain}

Mariages d'un jour sans passion, sans argent
Mariages de paumés, à la barbe des gens
Dans un hôtel pouilleux ou au bois de Vincennes
Ou debout sous un pont, sur les bords de la Seine
