Goodbye Amsterdam
By Nick Trovert
[Verse 1]
Fancy booze going down my throat
Even then, not raising a toast
I’ve tried everything, no joke
And I'm used to it
Taking a taxi, back at the start
Wallet feels lighter, so does my heart
Never feel like I'm playing the right part
Or that I'm a perfect fit
[Pre-Chorus]
And they're having fun together
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye Amsterdam,
Don't give a single damn,
Yeah, I really am leaving the dance floor
Goodbye, goodbye to city nights
Now I'm fading from sight
For years I have tried to fit into your mold
Time to leave you out in the cold
And bring my love life back in control
[Verse 2]
Not a ghost, yet I feel as if I am
None of my fingerprints weigh a gram
Life as a gay man, is it a scam?
Yeah, I'm used to it
No, I cannot be the only one
Thinkin' when will I get a home run
Givin' up, you can see I'm so done
Wanna throw a fit
[Pre-Chorus]
And they're having fun together
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye Amsterdam,
Don't give a single damn,
Yeah, I really am leaving the dance floor
Goodbye, goodbye to city nights
Now I'm fading from sight
Ten years have I tried to fit into your mold
Time to leave you out in the cold
And bring my love life back in control
[Post-Chorus]
Bye bye, goodbye, Amsterdam
No no, don't give a single damn
Bye bye, goodbye, Amsterdam
Bye bye, goodbye city nights
Yeah, yeah, now I'm fading from sight
Bye bye, goodbye city nights
[Bridge]
Then I get home and flop down on the couch
With a little moan and my heart saying "Ouch"
And the scream from within me claims its ground
Cannot wait to slam the door in my dressing gown
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Amsterdam,
I don't give a damn,
Yeah, I really am leaving the dance floor
Don't need your games no more
Bye, city nights, I'm fading from sight
Ten years have I tried to fit into your mold
Time to leave you out in the cold
And bring my love life back in control
[Post-Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, Amsterdam
No no, I don't give a damn
Goodbye, goodbye, Amsterdam
Goodbye, goodbye, city nights
Yeah, yeah, I'm fading from sight
Goodbye, goodbye, city nights
