lyrics

Roy The Poet (& Me)

Off our heads on dope cake
Roy The Poet & me
Riding the streets of Amsterdam
In a quest to be free.

I was the one who cycled
Roy The Poet & me
We conquered all Amsterdam
And saw what we might be.

Van Gogh & Anne Frank
Roy The Poet & me
We saw them in every shadow
In between canals & trees.

Chorus
We lived through nights of heaven: we heard all midnight’s bells
Reason was a stranger but we knew it wished us well
We lived through nights of heaven: though all the angels fell
No need to tell the Spartans but please go tell Jacques Brel.

Two dazed but happy Englishmen
Roy The Poet & me
Lost in dark Dutch backstreets
Drunk sailors without a sea.

Foggy was our confusion
Roy The Poet & me
We’d never eaten dope cake
Or know how it would be.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Off our heads on dope cake
Roy The Poet & me
We left those streets of Amsterdam
And found that we were free
And found that we were free
And found that we were free.

Chorus
