Lyrics
Trois heures quarante-sept sur l'horloge Péquignet.
La farine danse sous les néons de la rue Diderot.
Jean-Pierre a les mains dans la mère, le levain.
C'est un mardi d'octobre, il sent venir le matin.
On est bien seul à cette heure où la ville est un gouffre.
[Chorus]
Et Lyon respire,

Un empire de mie qui trouve sa place.
Et le monde se tait, fragile et immense.
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
Et Lyon respire,
un seul instant de grâce.
Un empire de mie qui trouve sa place.
Et le monde se tait, fragile et immense.
[Bridge]
Quarante ans de strates sur le plan de travail.
Le silence est un roc, une pierre de Volvic.
Un fantôme de thym des montagnes d'avant.
[Outro]
Un seul instant de grâce...
Un empire de mie...
