Lyrics The New Amsterdams

The New Amsterdams

Son of a Prophet

All your hangers on

Watch with anxious eyes

Watch your mouth to speak

Words mystic and wise

Can you explain away everything I know to be true?

Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you?

Anything about you

Wash your nervous hands

Speak and only lie

Dismiss distances

Between you and I

Can you explain away everything that I know to be true?

Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you?

Anything about you

Preacher's only son

Wise man's only tie

Scorned by anyone

With an evil eye
