You're sending me tulips mistaken for lilies[00:00:02]
You give me your lip after punching me silly[00:00:05]
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain[00:00:10]
If I had any sense now I wouldn't want it back again[00:00:14]
New amsterdam its become much too much[00:00:19]
Till I have the possession of everything she touches[00:00:23]
Till I step on the brakes to get out of her clutches[00:00:27]
Till I speak double dutch to a real double duchess[00:00:32]
Down on the mainspring listen to the tick tock[00:00:38]
Clock all the faces that move in on your block[00:00:41]
Twice shy and dog tired because youve been bitten[00:00:45]
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost-written[00:00:49]
Back in london they'll take you to heart after a little while[00:00:54]
Though I look right at home I still feel like an exile[00:00:59]
Somehow I found myself down at the dockside[00:01:06]
Thinking of the old days of liverpool and rotherhithe[00:01:09]
The transparent people who live on the other side[00:01:15]
Living a life that is almost like suicide[00:01:23]
