Amsterdam

I never got to Amsterdam no I never went
And everything I did I never meant
Kept it down in there kept the peace
Couldn't keep away the change
Kept the cash at least
I never went to Amsterdam
Kept it bottled up under glass
Poured out when in my cups
Hey have another splash
But my oh my not my intent
In damming up my life to damn myself to a non-event
No I never got to Amsterdam
And girls in white stockings and boulevardiers
And bookstalls and Van Gogh and open-air cafes
I never got to Amsterdam no I never went
And everything I did I never meant
Kept it down in there kept the peace
Couldn't keep away the change
Kept the cash at least
Take my ashes there in your valise
And I'll finally get to Amsterdam
And girls in white stockings and boulevardiers
And bookstalls and Van Gogh and open-air cafes
