Intoxication Lyrics – Marguerite

[Armand]
This intoxication takes my breath away.
This agitation fevering the day.
I see her now at every turn.
Around every corner, she's there, she is waiting.
One moment inviting, one moment frustrating.
My imagination, fierce and running wild.
Infatuation, helpless as a child.
Can't tell the darkness from the light.
Or my left hand from my right.
Does my life begin with her?
Did my life begin that night?
She's a siren, she drowns me in her song.
She sings, she sings.
And the waters roar and rise.
And I am drowning, drowning...

This hallucination, crazy and obsessed.
This fascination will not let me rest.
She pressed her lips to mine and she
Intoxicated me...

[Marguerite]
This intoxication takes me by surprise.
This complcation fatally unwise.
Why should I throw it all aside?
The life that I lead, all the ease that it brings.
Where I have all I need at the snap of a finger...?

[Otto]
This intoxication robs me of my mind.

Humiliation never far behind...

[Marguerite]
What became of her? That pretty child?
Whose only dream was just to be a singer?
Why became of her? Did she run wild?
Did she run true? What did life bring her?
Poor girl...

[Otto]
Easily led and led astray...

[Marguerite]
Poor girl...

[Otto]
Lost her head and lost her way.
And today, she needs me more than ever...

[Marguerite]
I am drunk with him, my senses spin.
It's like my life is only just beginning...

[Marguerite and Armand]
This intoxication...

[Armand]
We are both the same, Marguerite and...

[Marguerite]
Armand is his name...

[Armand]
Marguerite and...

[Otto]
We are both to blame...
