L'absinthe Lyrics - Singles - The Matinee

we were dancing on the tables and writing on the walls 

in the hallways on the rooftops of the Chateau Frontenac 

she said that i was safe there, from what i can't recall 

i said i love her, yes i love her 

then we dipped into the river, oh we laid down on the bank 

oh i think we drank a potion, we sat and watched the bottle as it sank 

oh, it's too late to surrender 

oh, i think we've lost the fight 

oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight 

we swore we'd see the sunrise, and be well upon our way 

on the crowded street of treasure toward the St. Laurent 

oh we weren't going nowhere, le diable la bouteille ma fille et moi 

oh, it's too late to surrender 

oh, i think we've lost the fight 

oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight 

i said i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you 

i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you (x2) 

i said i love her 

i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you (x3) 

i said i love her (x2) 

oh, it's too late to surrender 

oh, i think we've lost the fight 

oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight 

oh, it's too late to surrender 

oh, i know that you were right 

oh, the devil's going to take me home tonight 

oh
