The New Amsterdams All Our Vice Lyrics

It's a clandestine arrangement
that we never could get to stick.
Every night under the table
with the sick
and the fits.
Never cast as the romantic lead
but somehow on our feet.
We're just waiting to be received
and the whole scene sighs relief.
Somehow everyone functions
with a barely visible scar.
Never know the length we'd go
was so far,
so far.
Some nights I see the sun come up
but don't remember where it went down.
A realist whose time has come,
it feels like I'm the only one.
Obstacles to overcome,
now I don't trust anyone.

So, here's to all our vice
and our secret double life.
I'll sleep with one eye open
and maybe you'll save my life.

Another cool a__ed show
under the table on the ground.
Keep the floorshow up to sound
and the light show up to specs.
If we drown until we're exhausted
it's what nobody expects.
Nothing left to lose.
Everything to prove.
Nothing we can't do.
Not anything for you.
The words were written wrong.
My life imitates your songs.
On and on and on.

Here's to all our vice
and our secret double life.
I'll sleep with one eye open,
maybe you'll save my life.
