Quand marcher sans autre but Plus de passé, demain fourbu Dans le néant du froid de la rue Quand les mots n'existent plus Quand l'espérance oubliée, dissolue Quand les alcools, même, ne saoulent plus Restent les phrases écorchées De ces phrases qu'on jette avant de renoncer Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité Un billet sur le trottoir Dans un journal, d'autres histoires Un rayon de soleil au hasard Une fleur abandonnée Ce que les autres ont laissé de côté Plus assez neuf, plus assez Quand ta place est au-dehors Ne reste que ces phrases comme île au trésor Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité Les derniers seront les premiers Dans l'autre réalité Nous serons princes d'éternité
