Un âne plane
Autour des tours de Notre-Dame
Un âne clame son existence
Avant qu'elle ne se fane
Jette du riz
Sur le parvis
Blanchit les gargouilles
Jette un sort
A nos chères anatomies
Un âne se pavane
Au bras d'une courtisane
Aux fourmis médusées
Distille des pensées se réclame
De l'homme qu'a vu l'âne
Jette du riz
Sur le parvis
Anoblit nos brouilles
Jette un rubis à nos faces désincarnées
Que m'enseignent encore ces néons
Rien qui me fasse réfléchir
Au-délà des halos
On se noie dans des murmures
On se pend au bout du fil
Et du reste on en a cure
Un âne plane
Tourne autour du nid
Décidément indécis
Il se condamne à des soupers
De lui émanent des airs célestes
Mais quand vient le sorbet
Un âne te réclame
Jette du riz
Sur le parvis
Blanchit les gargouilles
Jette au panier
La corbeille et l'osier
Jette du riz
Jette du riz
Jette du riz
Jette du riz
Jette du riz
Que m'enseignent encore ces néons
Rien qui me fasse réfléchir
Au-délà des halos
On se noie dans des murmures
On se pend au bout du fil
Et du reste on en a cure
Jette du riz
Jette du riz
