Socrate ou Bismarck ou Bouddha

L’air louche d’un sexe qui pense

Le front parti dans les nuances

Le foie calamine et calva

Boiteux comme l’ange qui chut

Ferme debout, leste de cul

Démembré comme l’araignée

Qu’écrase un monde à gros souliers

Suborneur acide des oies

Loqueteux mendiant princier

Qu’un démiurge farceur eût chié

Dans le monde afin qu’il pleurât

Dans le monde afin qu’il pleurât

Entre marbres métaphysiques

Et bronzes d’opprobre agonique

Poète des chiennes de vie

Et de ces chiennes la tique

Entre nuageuse portée

Plissements mauves, périnées

Entre l’immensité divine

Et la veine nègre qui pine

Verlaine, tu es le purin,

La rose qui l’élève en Dieu

Le livre donné, le lutrin

Le paysage et le chemin

Le paysage et le chemin

It was quite mean
To leave you on the road
I could have warned you
But I failed to be bold
(I)Gave you this meeting
Now I’m shaking, all my bones
The city is still sleeping and now, I see the road

I’d never say we have come to an end
I’d never leave outside from my world
I’d never claim we should come back to square one I know this is not fair
I know that you’re desperate

I’d never say we have come to an end
I’d never leave outside from my world
I’d never claim we should come back to square one I know this is not fair
I know that you’re desperate
I know that we’ll meet again
I know that we’ll meet again

Take a deep breath
As you’re putting on your coat
Take a short step
Now you’re walking in the cold

Hope we will embrace
And talk with no remorse
Hope we’ll find a way
To learn being alone

If you could pray
If I could stay
If we could manage to separate
If I could heal

If you could scream
This would be real

I’d never say we have come to an end
I’d never leave outside from my world
I’d never claim we should come back to square

I know this is not fair
I know that you’re desperate

I’d never say we have come to an end
I’d never leave outside from my world
I’d never claim we should come back to square one 
I know this is not fair
I know that you’re desperate
I know that we’ll meet again
