Amsterdam (album version)

Amsterdam (album version) Lyrics

Threw your "Greatest Hits"
You left them here the day you split.
The bass guitar and "shaggs" CD
Well, they don't mean that much to me right now.
I'm going through your things
These days are changing all my strains.

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
Wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Well, are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

You won't get too far from me
Believing everything you read.
You're wasted in the great unknown
And I am finally ready to dispose
Of all your village clothes,
Your drugs, and every secret code.

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
Wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
And 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.
And take this bitter pill.
Is it easy to swallow?

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
Wanna 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...
