Amsterdam (Live)

[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
