Lyrics The New Amsterdams

The New Amsterdams

All Our Vice

It's a clandestine arrangement that we never could get to stick

Every night under the table with the sick and the fits

Never cast as the romantic lead but somehow on our feet

We're just waiting to be received and the whole scene sighs relief

Somehow everyone functions with a barely visible scar

Never know the length we'd go was so far, so far

Some nights I see the sun come up

but don't remember where it went down

A realist whose time has come, it feels like I'm the only one

Obstacles to overcome, now I don't trust anyone

So, here's to all our vice and our secret double life

I'll sleep with one eye open and maybe you'll save my life

Another cool assed show under the table on the ground

Keep the floorshow up to sound and the light show up to specs

If we drown until we're exhausted it's what nobody expects

Nothing left to lose

Everything to prove

Nothing we can't do

Not anything for you

The words were written wrong

My life imitates your songs

On and on and on

Here's to all our vice and our secret double life

I'll sleep with one eye open, maybe you'll save my life
