we were dancing on the tables and writing on the walls
in the hallways on the rooftops of the Chateau Frontenac
she said that i was safe there, from what i can't recall
i said i love her, yes i love her

then we dipped into the river, oh we laid down on the bank
oh i think we drank a potion, we sat and watched the bottle as it sank

oh, it's too late to surrender
oh, i think we've lost the fight
oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight

we swore we'd see the sunrise, and be well upon our way
on the crowded street of treasure toward the St. Laurent
oh we weren't going nowhere, le diable la bouteille ma fille et moi

oh, it's too late to surrender

oh, i think we've lost the fight
oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight

i said i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you
i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you (x2)
i said i love her
i don't know where i'm going, i'm going there with you (x3)
i said i love her (x2)

oh, it's too late to surrender
oh, i think we've lost the fight
oh, the devil's going to take us home tonight

oh, it's too late to surrender
oh, i know that you were right
oh, the devil's going to take me home tonight
oh
