lyrics

LE GRAND CONCERT
A. Cyr / A. Cyr
Dans la salle où se joue le grand concert, / Une odeur traverse la brique. / La naissance, pureté achalante, / Transparaît sous la lumière brûlante. // D'une blanche et triste musique, / Un poupon paumé apaise sa pépie. / D'une voix d'ange prosaïque / Il ne peut que chanter /// Le grand concert, celui-là le plus grand, / Celui auquel on croit avoir tout donné. / Il vient un temps où l'on ne peut plus le cacher, / Le grand concert a tout détruit en dedans. // Dans la salle où se joue le grand concert, / La foule, éphémère, semble tiède. / Elle est un alcool traître; / Un fort très fort qui rend l'adulte adultère. // Et il sombre, il sombre. / Les cris valsant d'une marée vivante / Lui traversent l'épine dorsale. / Qu'attend-elle de lui? /// Le grand concert, celui-là le plus grand, / Celui auquel on croit avoir tout donné. / Il vient un temps où l'on ne peut plus le cacher, / Le grand concert a tout détruit en dedans. // Le pauvre paumé, croulant, a tout donné. / Son enfance, son innocence, / Son adolescence, sa liberté, / Son spectacle, sa vie. ////
