The Matinee - L'absinthe lyrics

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
