Absinthe

Why are you so absent? Tell me, is it the absinthe? Don't you dare say that you haven't  I know it's that absinthe, that absinthe You've been away Won't you come out to play? You know you want to There's nothing to lose Parched for the dark Swilling the spirit's spark Until you fall apart, Just surprises and alarms The sounds, the crowd All of it is spinning out Living in the moment But you don't own it You knew you would Have the grand wormwood You know, you know you want to There's nothing to lose You know you want to There's nothing to lose Why are you so absent? Tell me, is it the absinthe? Don't you dare say that you haven't  I know it's that absinthe, that absinthe You've just hit your limit Now you're all lifted Eyes unwind from sockets Light-head you lost it Inhibitions, tossed it In tongues like false prophets This isn't God's elixir But the devil's mixture You're still swigging glasses To quench all of the sadness Of after-work afternoons With the four walls in your room You're still swigging glasses To quench all the sadness You're still swigging glasses To quench all of the sadness Why are you so absent? Tell me, is it the absinthe? Don't you dare say that you haven't  I know it's that absinthe, that absinthe Call your friends along They're all just as gone It's just some fun See, no harm done Slot machine decisions Is there time for revisions? Hey, are you with me? Because you look tipsy  Call me at eventide All sloshed on the night Call me at eventide All sloshed on the night Is how you survive Hey, are you with me? Because you look tipsy  Hey, are you with me? Because you look tipsy  Why are you so absent? Tell me, is it the absinthe? Don't you dare say that you haven't  I know it's that absinthe, that absinthe Why are you so absent? Tell me, is it the absinthe? All I can say is good luck outlastin' The dreamboat that's absinthe
