Bell X1 - Amsterdam Says lyrics

Cars by the water
Water that makes this place stand still
Looks like they're thinking
Thinking of jumping
I wake to the church bells
Playing those funky tunes, "Hey Jude"
Up in the tower, carillonneurs thumping

I'm trying to love you but you
Treat me like a hotel
You're coming and going
But you never say where
I'm trying to love you
But I see your heart is elsewhere
Amsterdam says "Goodnight"
I'm dragging the suitcase through Chinatown
On the Zeedijk
The racket it's making, smell like a tourist
Now this is my home
Though these roots will only ever be so long
It is what it is

I'm trying to love you but you
Treat me like a hotel
You're coming and going
But you never say when
I'm trying to love you
But I see your heart is elsewhere
Amsterdam says "Goodbye"

I'm trying to love you but you
Treat me like a hotel
You're coming and going
But you never say when
I'm trying to love you
But I see your heart is elsewhere
Amsterdam says with steel in her voice
"I may seem rude to you but
I prefer to hear it straight
And not have to wade through
The bullshit between the lines
I know I'm beautiful, and I shouldn't work
But I do and I can do better than you"
