Oh Amsterdam
You are where I belong

Oh sonic seer
Hear your light
Hear your voice above
Hear your light
Hear your rope above
Hear your light
Good god
Feel your name
Lower light
Skinny, you'll be a rock star
hey lady, don't die
Here's to a better life
You're so in love with eye
Get it hit it hold it chase
City around to grace
Life in the Grand Hotel is super fine
Say it all

You missed
You made mistake
Thumbing with the needle
Eye
To you
Life in the Grand Hotel is super fine

Lyrics by Char Easter
Look what you’ve done to me
A face of pleasure and descent torn from a rich soil absently
Silken loud boxes
Arranged like honey to drip on me
in the form of sorrow that happens to be
Liars, are a match
I respond to a formal word
a traffic of drama and lasting channels
Guilt spilt on her perfect moment
her precious lie of white sequined thoughts
They’re super sent. Aye eye. They advance see.
Let the lady go
Liars are a match
These ancient times
How I let you delete a mind
Oh oh, I can hear you come
I can see your face fall back in the eons
A little
a little of you
shy
a little spirit
Talk about time

Sorry
I'm done
His face
Could lie in your arms forever
You know I've come
so put your tears away
go
Sad tears say see
now come take the fall
Stay stupid cool smooth
Dance to the lie
Fabled mysteries of
Dancing disorders
You and her so used to god's world
I've climbed a descent
Could lie in your arms forever
Oh woo

Through lips of gold
heal time
begot big eyes
see the reverend
behind the door
turn around
tell with a roar.
ahhh
You mist kill
You priest are we this?
Get it outright or feel life's summons.
Guilt, say it, feel this
Awe, don't fret away your lines.
Seated a meal with a glass.
Pour it out.
Ahhh
