《New Amsterdam》歌词

[00:00:00] You're sending me tulips

[00:00:02] Mistaken for lilies

[00:00:05] You give me your lip

[00:00:06] After punching me silly

[00:00:10] You turned my head

[00:00:11] Till it rolled down the brain drain

[00:00:14] If I had any sense now

[00:00:16] I wouldn't want it back again

[00:00:18] New Amsterdam

[00:00:20] It's become much too much

[00:00:22] Till I have the possession

[00:00:25] Of everything she touches

[00:00:27] Till I step on the brakes to

[00:00:29] Get out of her clutches

[00:00:31] Till I speak double dutch to

[00:00:33] A real double duchess

[00:00:36] Down on the mainspring

[00:00:38] Listen to the tick tock Clock

[00:00:40] All the faces that move

[00:00:43] In on your block

[00:00:45] Twice shy and dog tired

[00:00:47] Because you've been bitten

[00:00:49] Everything you say now sounds

[00:00:51] Like it was ghost-written

[00:00:53] New Amsterdam

[00:00:55] It's become much too much

[00:00:57] Till I have the possession

[00:00:59] Of everything she touches

[00:01:01] Till I step on the brakes to

[00:01:04] Get out of her clutches

[00:01:06] Till I speak double dutch to

[00:01:08] A real double duchess

[00:01:10] Back in London they'll take you

[00:01:12] To heart after a little while

[00:01:14] Though I look right at home

[00:01:16] I still feel like an exile

[00:01:22] Somehow I found myself

[00:01:25] Down at the dockside

[00:01:27] Thinking of the old days

[00:01:29] Of Liverpool and Rotherhithe

[00:01:31] The transparent people

[00:01:33] Who live on the other side

[00:01:35] Living a life that is almost like suicide

[00:01:40] New Amsterdam it's become much too much

[00:01:44] Till I have the possession

[00:01:46] Of everything she touches

[00:01:48] Till I step on the brakes

[00:01:50] To get out of her clutches

[00:01:53] Till I speak double dutch to

[00:01:55] A real double duchess
