Amsterdam

Throw away your greatest hits

You left them here the day you split

Your bass guitar and shag CD

Well, they don't mean that much to me

Right now I'm going through your things

These days, I'm changing all my strings



I'm gonna write you letter

I'm gonna write you a book

I want to see your reaction

I want to see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Where you've been hiding out

Are you getting somewhere?

Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?



You won't get too far from me

Believing everything you read

Wasted in the great unknown

And I am finally ready to dispose

Of all your vintage clothes

Your drugs and every secret code



I'm gonna write you letter

I'm gonna write you a book

I want to see your reaction

I want to see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Where you've been hiding out

Are you getting somewhere?

Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?



From your red balloon, you were

A super high tech jet fighter

Floating over Planet Earth

Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts

Take this bitter pill

Is it easy to swallow?



I'm gonna write you letter

I'm gonna write you a book

I want to see your reaction

I want to see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Never coming down

And are you getting somewhere

Or did you get lost in Amsterdam, Amsterdam?
