You're sending me tulips[00:00:00]

Mistaken for lilies[00:00:02]

You give me your lip[00:00:05]

After punching me silly[00:00:06]

You turned my head[00:00:10]

Till it rolled down the brain drain[00:00:11]

If I had any sense now[00:00:14]

I wouldn't want it back again[00:00:16]

New Amsterdam[00:00:18]

It's become much too much[00:00:20]

Till I have the possession[00:00:22]

Of everything she touches[00:00:25]

Till I step on the brakes to[00:00:27]

Get out of her clutches[00:00:29]

Till I speak double dutch to[00:00:31]

A real double duchess[00:00:33]

Down on the mainspring[00:00:36]

Listen to the tick tock Clock[00:00:38]

All the faces that move[00:00:40]

In on your block[00:00:43]

Twice shy and dog tired[00:00:45]

Because you've been bitten[00:00:47]

Everything you say now sounds[00:00:49]

Like it was ghost-written[00:00:51]

New Amsterdam[00:00:53]

It's become much too much[00:00:55]

Till I have the possession[00:00:57]

Of everything she touches[00:00:59]

Till I step on the brakes to[00:01:01]

Get out of her clutches[00:01:04]

Till I speak double dutch to[00:01:06]

A real double duchess[00:01:08]

Back in London they'll take you[00:01:10]

To heart after a little while[00:01:12]

Though I look right at home[00:01:14]

I still feel like an exile[00:01:16]

Somehow I found myself[00:01:22]

Down at the dockside[00:01:25]

Thinking of the old days[00:01:27]

Of Liverpool and Rotherhithe[00:01:29]

The transparent people[00:01:31]

Who live on the other side[00:01:33]

Living a life that is almost like suicide[00:01:35]

New Amsterdam it's become much too much[00:01:40]

Till I have the possession[00:01:44]

Of everything she touches[00:01:46]

Till I step on the brakes[00:01:48]

To get out of her clutches[00:01:50]

Till I speak double dutch to[00:01:53]

A real double duchess[00:01:55]
