He ties up the rabid dog And waters the frozen flowers Steps off the dirty ground And climbs up the neon ladder 3.30 AM The silence, the mayhem There'll be no Christmas this year The red lights are melting Mirjam is counting The stars over Amsterdam She runs down the avenue And dreams yet a thousand paces Twirls in her diamond shoes But trips on the silver laces The Koffieshop-Krishnas Sell clouds of amnesia Snow White's a bargain today The red lights are melting Mirjam is counting The stars over Amsterdam The stars over Amsterdam At the time What happened to you that day Could happen to anyone The big world is shrinking Mirjam is thinking The moon licks her skin Every night The red lights are melting Mirjam is counting The stars over Amsterdam The stars over Amsterdam
