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 my suitcase Through Chinatown and the [Incomprehensible] The racket it's making banging 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 where I'm trying to love you but I see your heart is elsewhere Amsterdam says goodnight 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 with steel in her voice I may seem rude to you but I prefer that you were 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
