I was down in Amsterdam

almost hurt myself to death

I pushed myself so hard

just like the redlight girls

well I cried and stopped to smile

I thought that my career was over

and the dealer boys they had to bring me water



I stumbled over mountains

and the shadows of the street

I fell into the river

I cried and begged for mercy

And I talked to god on the telephone

but I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie



When I came to in Amsterdam

the hotel showed a movie

with Marlon Brandon

and his friend Pacino

Well I thought that this is nice

and I'm sure I can relax now

but suddenly the room was full of demons

I escaped through the window

almost ran a mile away

I had no where to go

so I cried and begged for mercy and I talked to god on the telephone

but I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie



But nothing seems to matter

in this lonesome dirty town

but for a short brief moment

I thought she was the one

and she and I were fighting

about sex, love and TV

that's why I had to get down and talk to god on the telephone

but I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me but it was a lie
