Steve Vai - No More Amsterdam lyrics

rate me

The more that I see, the less I know

And this time, thats not what I need

I waver between

Go on or just let go

But holding on

Is what Im used to

When Im in an undertow

Cote du Rhone

Or the airport courtesy phone

Tell the fortune youre building

Why did you build out of cards

Yeah, what I should have built of stone

But now my planes at the gate and boarding

And I cant do this thing alone unless theres

No more Amsterdam

You made me what I am

And I cant pay in kind

When something precious always ends up

Left behind

Old ways lift and pull

Whole days left half full

Claimed I didnt mind

Later

And when its all done

When youve had your fun

And the smoke lingers on

Burning off beside the paper crown

I put it back on and see how it goes

And wear the lie

As if it had the power to carry you home

And there you are in the hotel bar

Gone

Holding diamonds you traded

Watching the friend who

Once was a paragon

Coming undone

But now my planes at the gate and boarding

And once I hear those engines roaring, therell be

No more Amsterdam

You made me what I am

And I cant pay in kind

When something precious always ends up

Left behind

Old ways lift and pull(and I cant stay honest)

Whole days left half full

Claimed I didnt mind

The more that I see,

The less I know
