Take the last train of the night
Out of town
Take a second, take your life
The end of the line
Walk a mile down the road
Past the light
To the hotel with glowing green eyes
“The End Of The Line”
An old man will open the door and he’ll say,
“Absinthe brought me here and Absinthe makes me stay
Absinthe makes it go away”
To good health, cheers and chin chin
We sat down Whiskey, wine, vodka and gin
We drank them down
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
Absinthe makes it go away
Poor a generous measure into an old fashioned glass
And set that sugar spoon
Drip cool water, pure as ice ‘til it turns lurid and green
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
Absinthe makes it go away
