Les Faiseurs de religion Prêchaient dans le brouillard Les ombres près de qui nous passions Jouaient à collin maillard À soixante-dix ans Joues fraîches de petits enfants Venez venez Eléonore Et que sais-je encore Regardez venir les cyclopes Les pipes s'envolaient Mais envolez-vous-en Regards impénitents Et l'Europe l'Europe Regards sacrés Mains enamourées Et les amants s'aimèrent Tant que prêcheurs prêchèrent
