america in amsterdam
Wheatus Lyrics

It's only been an hour but I think I feel the power
Despite being in Amsterdam for only an hour, I feel its influence on me.

Tell me where do you guys want to go to?
Can you suggest where we should go next?

Well I could go for that but I need to buy a hat, I think I saw some for sale on the small streets
I am willing to do that, but first I need to buy a hat, which I can find in the small streets.

Can I play the game without a plan?
Is it possible to enjoy our trip without a set itinerary?

I think Pete has the map but tell me what's the difference?
I believe Pete has the map, but does it really matter if we get lost?

I do not know exactly where I am
I am not sure of my current location.

I'm an American in Amsterdam
I am an American tourist in Amsterdam.

Silver Mushroom Jesus, he is standing in between us, Preaching words that he doesn't believe
A person dressed as 'Silver Mushroom Jesus' is with us, preaching insincere words.

I think that he's cracking 'cause he keeps calling me Captain, And he's barking and growling at strangers
I believe 'Silver Mushroom Jesus' is losing his mind, as he addresses me as 'Captain' and growls at passersby.

Later on tonight he's gonna turn back into Elvis, When they kick his ass out of the sex show
Apparently 'Silver Mushroom Jesus' will transform into Elvis later tonight, after getting kicked out of a sex show.

We play in a band that has no fans, I think Pete lost the map we don't know where were going
We are part of a band that has no following; we have lost the map and have no clue where we're headed.

I'm trying to remember who I am
I am struggling to recall my own identity.

Mike prefers a quiet conversation in the pub, But the English are pissed, drunk and raging
My companion Mike likes peaceful chats at the pub, but the drunk Englishmen nearby are rambunctious and disorderly.

'Hey Bono' they said when they threw peanuts at my head, And said 'Hey prick can we try on your glasses?'
The Englishmen rudely pelted me with peanuts and asked to borrow my glasses, mockingly referring to me as 'Bono' and 'prick'.

Now I am just a dork, but listen I come from New York, So I said 'Hey, what are you guys, Irish?'
Though I admit to being a bit of a nerd, I hail from New York and retorted with a joke about their Irish heritage.

We came to play the game without a plan, Pete puked on the map we don't know where were going, I do not exactly who I am
Our goal was to have fun without set goals, but Pete vomited on the map and we're lost; I am becoming unsure of my own identity.
