Amsterdam (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ryan Miller] I threw away your greatest hits You left them here the day you split Your bass guitar and Shaggs 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 [Chorus: Miller, Adam Gardner & Luke Reynolds/Miller & Reynolds] Gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way upon your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere Or did you get lost in Amsterdam [Verse 2: Miller] 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 vintage clothes Your drugs and every secret code [Chorus: Miller, Gardner & Reynolds/Miller & Reynolds] Gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way upon your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere Or did you get lost in Amsterdam [Verse 3: Miller/Miller, Garnder & Reynolds] From your red balloon You were a super hi-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 [Chorus: Miller, Gardner & Reynolds/Miller & Reynolds] Gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way upon your cloud You're never coming down Are you getting somewhere Or did you get lost in Amsterdam Amsterdam [End: Miller] We wanna thank our friend Ben Kweller for coming out, uh, and playing tonight. We're seeing him a little later and I... I was sort of, you know, the whole idea of doing a... a concert around an album, you know, still being an active band that still makes records and writes songs, you wanna be careful not to continually trade in nostalgia but I also, as a fan of music, if one of my favorite bands were to play one of my favorite records in its entirety, I've been there, I've done it and it's magical and so it means a lot that you guys are here to celebrate this with us and we know that we've been a part of your lives and yeah, cheers to you, weirdo dude. Cheers to all of you, thank you very much, it means an awful lot to us, seriously
