Mando Diao Amsterdam Lyrics

Amsterdam Lyrics

I was down in Amsterdam

Almost hurt myself to death

I pushed myself so hard

Just like the red light girls



Well, I cried and stopped to smile

I thought that my career is over

And the dealer boys

They had to bring me water



I stumbled over mountains

And the shadows of the street

I fell into the river, I cried and begged for mercy

And I talked to God on the telephone



But I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie

And no I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie



When I came to in Amsterdam

The hotel showed a movie

With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino



Well, I thought that this is nice

And I'm sure I can relax now

But suddenly the room was full of demons



I escaped through the window

Almost ran a mile away

I had nowhere to go so I cried and begged for mercy

And I talked to God on the telephone



But I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie

And no I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie



But nothing seems to matter

In this lonesome, dirty town

But for a short brief moment

I thought she was the one



And she and I were fighting

About sex, love and TV

That's why I had to get down

And talk to God on the telephone



But I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what He told me

But it was a lie
