Marguerite - Original London Cast — Intoxication lyrics

Lyrics

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…
This intoxication takes me by surprise
This complication fatally unwise
(This intoxication)
Why should I throw it all aside?
(How can I ever walk away?)
The life that I lead, all the ease that it brings
Where I have all I need at the snap of a finger?
This intoxication robs me of my mind
Humiliation never far behind
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…
Easily led and led astray…
Poor girl…
Lost her head and lost her way
And today, she needs me more than ever
I am drunk with him, my senses spin
It’s like my life is only just beginning
This intoxication…
We are both the same
Marguerite
Armand is his name
Marguerite
We are both to blame…
This intoxication
