Amsterdam Lyrics

He ties up the rabid dog
And waters the frozen flowers
Steps off the dirty ground
And climbs up the neon ladder

3.30 AM
The silence, the mayhem
There'll be no Christmas this year

The red lights are melting
Mirjam is counting
The stars over Amsterdam

She runs down the avenue
And dreams yet a thousand paces
Twirls in her diamond shoes
But trips on the silver laces

The Koffieshop-Krishnas
Sell clouds of amnesia
Snow White's a bargain today

The red lights are melting
Mirjam is counting
The stars over Amsterdam

It seemed like a good idea
At the time
What happened to you that day
Could happen to anyone

The big world is shrinking
Mirjam is thinking
The moon licks her skin
Every night

The red lights are melting
Mirjam is counting
The stars over Amsterdam
