Spliff city Amsterdam

Spliff city Amsterdam

 

Old church, now Club Paradiso in Amsterdam

Flashing lights, flashing bikes

Cloudless skies, canal streets

Amsterdam, the city that seldom sleeps

I have seen the best minds of my generations

Contorting in reinvented churches

Inevitably high on cocaine and weed

Synthetic LSD and a good scoop of ice

Amsterdam, you are filled with lies

Tourist traps, 20 minute naps

Reveling in streets bombarded with art

Where the architecture softens your heart

You walk the beat and scroll the sights

Merrily marching towards the light

Enticed by its red bright color

Forgetful about the ages of men

Unworried, unbalanced and unrepent
