Threw your "Greatest Hits"

You left them here the day you split.

The bass guitar and "shaggs" CD

Well, they don't mean that much to me right now.

I'm going through your things

These days are changing all my strains.



Gonna write you a letter

Gonna write you a book

I wanna see your reaction

Wanna see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Where you've been hiding out

Well, are you getting somewhere?

Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?



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 village clothes,

Your drugs, and every secret code.



Gonna write you a letter

Gonna write you a book

I wanna see your reaction

Wanna see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Where you've been hiding out

And 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 hurts.

And take this bitter pill.

Is it easy to swallow?



Gonna write you a letter

Gonna write you a book

I wanna see your reaction

Wanna see how it looks

From way up on your cloud

Never coming down.

And are you getting somewhere?

Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

Amsterdam...
