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
