Absinthe Songtext
von The Naives

You don′t need a golden ring
Oh, you've got everything
Candlelight, ′round midnight
Out of tune piano cries
You are a soulful one, bartender
Pour some greenness into my glass
With the smoke, we shall surrender
Naked bodies on the walls

In lieu of all
I need some more
I won't stand
If you'll make me wait
I won′t stand
If you′ll make me wait
I won't stand
If you′ll make me wait
I won't stand
If you′ll make me wait


It's some kind of mystery
Eyes get wet and tongue untied
Is it a spell o′ green fairy?
Or I fell with the brand-new lie?
Red lipstick suits you well
Shady people walk around
Are we ones of them?
Or is it a play in my mind?

In lieu of all
I need more n' more
I won't stand
If you′ll make me wait
I won′t stand
If you'll make me wait
I won′t stand
If you'll make me wait
I won′t stand
If you'll make me wait
I won′t stand

I won't stand
I won't stand
I won′t stand
If you′ll make me wait
I won't stand
I won′t stand
I won't stand
If you′ll make me wait


I won't stand
I won′t stand
I won't stand
I won't stand
