Amsterdam

You threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you slipped
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

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
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
You wasted in the great unknown and I am finally ready to dispose of all
your dirty clothes
Your drugs
Every secret code

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
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 hurt
Take this bitter pill
It isn't easy to swallow

Chorus
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
Way up on your cloud
Never coming down
Are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam
