The New Amsterdams Drama Queen lyrics

Get over some how
my drama queen
old wounds and rebounds
old ha.......
I got the time
you've got the notion
new faces repeat
my drama queen

The New Amsterdams When We Two Parted lyrics

Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again
didn't I do a good job of pretending?
Baby, you're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end
Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again
it's my favorite
it's got personality
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall
every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall
if I could have only once heard you scream
to say you were alive
instead of watching you abandoning yourself
Baby, you can open your eyes now
and please allow me to present you with a clue
if I inflict the pain
then baby only I can comfort you, yeah
Out of the night we come
and into the night we go
if it starts to hurt you
then you have to say so

The New Amsterdams Untitled lyrics

Cough
I know
Ah shit
I know
I'm not supposed to be
It isn't different
You're unimpressed
By industry
You just stopped listening
Whoa
Give it all away
Any god-damned day
You're all I want
If I have to choose
I'm choosing you
I'm choosing you

The New Amsterdams Slow Down lyrics

hold back my lip
watch my step
spinnin world hurts me
facin backwards might cause you to slip
so slow down
watch your step
take a little trip down
who knows where you'll land
your broken hands scratch my back
mend me now
my chance to move on
who's to know
the outer side, the outside
my glimpse, a glimpse
gather my sense
sit and back and mend myself
take a walk outside
too bored to sleep
sit back and mend myself
take a walk outside
too bored to sleep
not enough time to get anything halfway done
not enough time to get anything halfway done

The New Amsterdams Proceed With Caution lyrics

Sober you up
The odds in your favor
But I wouldn't wager anything
The clouds in your ears
Hold off your bets now
It's al going too well
Something has got to give
I wouldn't wait for it
Baby I'll bet it's over due
You're lucky to be alive
So I wouldn't count
On anything
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Sober you up
The odds in your favor
I wouldn't wager anything
Clouds in your ears
Hold off your bets now
It's all going too well
Something has got to give
I wouldn't wait for it
Baby you'll bet it's over due
Lucky to be alive
And I wouldn't count
On anything
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Proceed with caution
From here on in
Here on in
Here on in

The New Amsterdams Never Treat Others lyrics

you can run from the sorrow
and all that you lose is the chance to make peace with the path that you choose
little apple, i'm sure, is as small as you think
bitter reminder the drown is in the drink
i admit i regret that i'm needing you
i'm depressed, you're the mess, that i looked up to
i retract every word that i say
i swear, i'll never treat others
i sweat, i'll never treat others that way
maybe this isn't anything like it should be
you'd be humble and famous, it falls perfectly
i have made some decisions, choices you make
then i see, to my error, i've made a mistake
i admit, i regret, that i'm needing you
i'm depressed, you're the mess that i looked up to
i retract every word that i say
i swear i never treat others
i swear, i never treat others
i swear i will never treat others
don't open your mouth
don't worry about it
if i was in your place i'd never allow it
i admit, i regret, i'm needing you
i'm depressed, you're the mess that i looked up to
i retract every word that i say
i swear i never treat others
i swear, i never treat others that way.

The New Amsterdams Make Me Change My Mind lyrics

Don't expect so much at all
If the test does beckon me
If I should fail if I should fall
I will lose no stability
No not at all
Cause it's the best just not to try
Get away got no family but this
And this little piece of heaven
I am not about to risk
What if I fall?
What if I never make it home?
Home
That's a fear
That I can't bring myself to face
So let it go
Don't bring it up
Put more value on
What you want to give up
What if I fall?
Nothing could make me change my mind
My travel scar
And they break more broken hearts
When I was younger
I'd have run away
My dependence made me stay
Now I'm tired and afraid
And the world at large a frightening place
That's a fear I can't bring myself to face

The New Amsterdams Lonely Hearts lyrics

All that i have is finally over
Good knocking again
I've given the chance, do it all over
To lose her again
Sleep tight, never you mind
Lonely hearts breaking tonight
Never i dared had i, been close to sober
Is out of my head
Back of my mind if i only had shown her
Shed be mine again
Sleep tight, never you mind
Lonely hearts are breaking tonight

The New Amsterdams Idaho lyrics

She says
Idaho
Is calling you home
Old friends and lovers
Returning the blows
Cry me a river
Miss understood
(If you're misunderstood)
For all ever after
Knew that you would
(How I knew that you would)
I didn't turn on
You turned away
No one is listening
Anyway
She says
Idaho
Is calling you home
Old Friends and Lovers
Returning the blows
Cry me a river
For misunderstood
(If you're misunderstood)
For all ever after
Knew that you would
(How I knew that you would)
I didn't turn on
You turned away
No one is listening
Anyway
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one is listening
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one is listening
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one
She says
Idaho
Is calling you home

The New Amsterdams Goodbye lyrics

wait up for me
you're where i want to be
stop long enough to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
it's all said and done
keeps me at ease
sings us both to sleep
we don't have to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
all said and done
goodbye

The New Amsterdams Every Double Life lyrics

These are models of my own design
Two circles never meeting
One in 92 and 95
And it's all been up to me
May not listen to my own advice
It can be so overwhelming
There are strains on every double life
But you won't hear me complain
Yes it's true
You knew
You believed it
You should just turn
And walk away
Took a compliment and photograph
Committed it to memory
Model of how not to act
At least not imitate
Wouldn't it have been ideal
If it all fell down from heaven
How am I supposed to feel
When I know what you did wrong
Yes it's true
You knew
You believed it
You should just turn
And walk away
Yes it's true
You knew
I was leaving
We're under the same sky line today

The New Amsterdams All Ears lyrics

Came by to make you angrier again.
Gonna try to make you angrier enough,
I? all ears now.
Volunteer how I?
Gonna?find a way to keep this civilized.
It? help if you? just tell me what to say.
It? help if you? just tell me anything.
I? all ears now.
Volunteer how,
I? not askin?anymore.
I? not askin?anymore how
I? gonna find a way to keep this civilized.
You fall back
On anger now,
Swear you are forgiven.
Your anger suits you,
It makes you beautiful
Gives you confidence
To come at me with more than your bare hands.
Not here to break you,
But all the words tonight are careful, chosen, hurting kind;
I? tryin?to say that I, I? tryin?to say that I,
I? tryin?to say that I?e stopped tryin?
If you rise above,
If you rise at all,
It?l probably be now.

The New Amsterdams Losing You lyrics

Stories been boarded up again
Old sins forgotten from new sins
Your habits get old
Your habits get old
Wanted to say
How I wanted to say
Miss the Valentine House sometimes
Good times compounded on good times
What? come over you since?
What? come over you since?
Wanted to say
How I wanted to say
Losing you
I would know
I feel partially responsible
I? confused
All I can do
Is quietly grin and resent you
Phone calls made with such urgency
Speaking half-truths
She doesn? know
What she doesn? know
Wanted to say
How I wanted to say
Losing you
I would know
I feel partially responsible
I? confused
All I can do
Is quietly grin and resent you

The New Amsterdams Four More Years lyrics

Are you open, to open arms?
Misdirection does little harm
I won? ask, you won? tell
Just come around
Missed discussions of virtues and
Complications with cash in hand
I won? ask, you won? tell
Just come around
My angel flies
Carries all my fears
Angel don? die
For four more years
Are you waiting for me to say
That I made all the same mistakes
I won? ask, you won? tell
Just come around
My angel flies
Carries all my fears
Angel don? die
For four more years
My angel flies
Carries all my fears
Angel don? die
For four more years

The New Amsterdams Forever Leaving lyrics

Burn all your pictures
Still save the prints
Thought I? feel better
I feel like shit
I fall to pieces with out you around
Spend all my time
Trying to figure out
Maybe I should be sorry
Maybe it? too late
It? never too early
I?l follow my faith
I shot the moon
When you shot me down
I spend all my time
Trying to figure out
I finally thought about
I forever been leaving
I wanna change the world
Nothings gonna change, believe me
Little love is lost
The memory remains
Time takes its cost
I? still the same
I left the room
And you let me down
Spend all my time
Trying to figure out
I finally thought about
I forever been leaving
I wanna change the world
Nothings gonna change, believe me
I just seem to spend
More and more time again
By myself
It? just so much easier then
Trying to understand, myself
I finally thought about
I forever been leaving

The New Amsterdams Adeline Out Of Tune lyrics

Adeline, out of tune
Heaven knows what I would do
You can't just walk away
From everything
Adeline, out of tune
Step in time, two by two
Say it's over regret
I'm sure it's over I guess
I don't ever forget
Ever forget
Adeline, out of tune
Heaven knows what I would do
Say it's over regret
Sure it's over I guess
I don't ever forget
Don't ever forget

The New Amsterdams Stay On The Phone lyrics

One waitress
Outside of,
Phone booth, South Carolina
Sits, keeps killing time
Rolls her eyes
Roll of dimes
Speak of this sick surrounding sin
Tears me from limb to limb, within
I don? know how to let it go
This far away from home
One word was mistaken
Context that it was taken from
Write it down
Must be sound
Must be true
I hope you can hear me
My only sanctuary asks
Why am I here?
Why aren? I home?
As the line builds for the phone
I want it all
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I? alone and so are you
Old stories
Gas stations
Repeating conversations
Still, I can? speak long
The show has to go on
At best I, might question
The focus of my attention
Though, you know that I could bring it down
I want it all
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I? alone and so are you
One waitress, invading
But I? content to make her wait
It? all I have
So far from home
Oh please stay on the phone

The New Amsterdams That Side Of Me lyrics

We don? forgive
And I dare you not to speak
All bones with hands
Old wound open the key
The best of friends
Turn to enemies
Honestly, do I wanna walk away?
Is that obvious to see, that side of me?
Secrets and sins
Does it matter if I know?
Lets not pretend
Wish it wasn? so
Can we stay friends?
Even if I? in your show
Honestly, do I wanna walk away?
Is it that obvious to see that side of me?
I? all beat up
I? a cold bruise colored
Tears me up
Do I ask myself to choose?
When I don? know what to do

The New Amsterdams Son Of A Prophet lyrics

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? only son
Wise man? only tie
Scorned by anyone
With an evil eye

The New Amsterdams Picture In The Paper lyrics

I don't want
A picture in the paper
I just want
A minute of your time
At a point
Appreciate an answer
Any token
Would suit me fine
I won't ask
A question you can't answer
Like, Do you remember All Shook Down?
At one time
It was your favorite record
But now it's broken
And not around
Baby I broke it
Broke me down
Strain of the show
Takes its toll
But you don't
Wanna know
Maybe I don't know what I'm asking
This is not
The place or time to speak
It's possible piano may be drinking
But it's not me
Couldn't be
I'm sincere
As I can be
Strain of the show
Takes its toll
You don't
Wanna know
Strain of the show
Takes its toll
You don't
Wanna know

The New Amsterdams My Old Man Had A Pistol lyrics

My old man had a pistol
Never carried around
Never taught me to use it, yeah
No blood on the ground
Images of a family
Somewhere deep in the South
Wished that girl taking pictures, yeah
Drag me out
Stand inside
Knees fall to the ground
I pray take me far away
From everything that I am
Must have lost all my memories
Must have blacked ?m all out
Thank god for the pictures, yeah
Didn? burn in the house
Stand inside
Knees fall to the ground
I pray take me far away
From everything that I am
I pray take me far away
Everything that I am
Escape is the only way out
Escape is the only way out
Escape is the only way out
Only way out

The New Amsterdams All Our Vice - Clandestine lyrics

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.

The New Amsterdams Are You True- lyrics

Sending a sobering scent. It's all in my hands to repent. Spectacular sin that take discipline to stop. Ellis is hardly a fiend. It's achingly clear I can see. The offer is fair it's up in the air to drop. Are you true? Do you know where the worlds going to go? I don't know if you do. Are you true? Does anyone else have a thought? Then that's all the time that we've got. The one with the cards is the only one you've forgot. Over and over again, the heretics seldom are friends. The profit is false, believers are turned to salt. It's their fault. Are you true? Do you know where the world's going to go? I don't know if you do. Are you true? It seems clear, if you're fake, then there's no move I can make. I don't think that I'll choose. Are you true? There's no way I can lose. Are you true?

The New Amsterdams Asleep At The Wheel lyrics

The light I followed tonight is only as bright as the highway. The sight, try as I might, I can't keep the weight from my eyes. We never will make load in if the Ephedrine don't kick in.

The New Amsterdams Hover Near Fame lyrics

I'll trust as far as I can spit. You can read deep into it. New York nightlife isn't shit without a storyboard. I don't think much impresses me like a drunk celebrity. You just fall down and fall asleep like the rest (of us). On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab. It's a stake out. There's hanging on with bated breath, you're just milking this to death. So sad I have to disappoint, her name is not a selling point. The drinks are better in this joint where everyone's a friend. Not that the nightlife isn't great and if I seem to be irate, I don't have tolerance for fakes:what's to say. On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab. It's a stake out. Your hanging on with bated breath, you're just milking this to death. Somewhere the novelty wore thin. When every city I was in there was an actor soaked in gin with and entourage. This is my home away from home so get a barstool of your own. I'll watch you sinking like a stone:what a sight. On your way out, don't bother picking up your tab. It's a stake out. Hanging on with bated breath your just milking this for: Access, what little we possess. Any other pays the cover but it wouldn't be the same. Excess, destined to impress. You can follow every model but you always try to hover near fame
