En passant à toute allure devant
"Paix en Algérie" écrit sur le mur
Je me dis que ces lettres noires
Un peu vieillies sur le mur, sur le mur à l'écart,
Je me dis qu'elles ont mon âge, je me dis que je suis pareille
{Refrain, x2}
Rien que ce bout de temps
Que ces mots ont mis à me venir
Rien qu'un bout de voyage
La route que j'ai suivie pour les lire
De l'oubli qui s'ouvre {x2}
Je caresse, que le temps est rond,
Comme une grosse bille fourrée dans ma poche
Je suis pas à des kilomètres de la ville où je vais
Juste à des heures de train, je suis pas à vingt ans de nous
Juste à des kilomètres en passant à toute allure devant
{au Refrain}
Rien que ce bout de temps
Que ces mots ont mis à me venir
{au Refrain, x2}
