Ghost Mice
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
We were the cliché American backpackers
2
Standing on the side of the road in the rain
3
With our cardboard sign written in black sharpie
4
That read Amsterdam
5
We were going to Amsterdam
6
So we weren't surprised by the looks in the eyes
7
Of the people in their cars when they passed us by
8
And the gave us the middle finger
9
Or the thumbs up or thumbs down
10
But we stayed tough, we stood our ground
11
And by the end of the afternoon
12
We got dropped off in the middle of this town
13
Now everyone will tell you 'bout the coffee shops
14
And everyone will tell you 'bout the red-light district
15
But somehow up to now it seems they all forgot to mention
16
The millions of bikes locked to the millions of bridges
17
That arch up like rainbows to cross the city's millions of canals
18
That run down every street with the houseboats nice and neat
19
And the buildings lean so much you think that they might fall down
20
Like the rain that day that drove us to a stoop
21
Gotta feel sorry for all the hippies
22
That came here in the '60s
23
Now they don't know who they are
24
We watched one of them playin' flute
25
He was tryin' to earn some change
26
We had spent all of our money for that day
27
We grew hungry and the rain just came and came
28
And oh how I wished I had some of those fries
29
All the people were eating when they passed us by
30
And I closed my eyes for a minute or two
31
I opened them up when I got a nudge from you
32
There was the hippie, the one with the flute,
33
And holding in his hands was my wish come true
34
And he handed me the whole thing
35
And this whole interaction felt was more like a dream
36
He was readin' my mind it seemed
37
Like a genie granting wishes for people on the street
38
And we never could have thanked him enough
39
I don't know if he knew how much it meant to us
40
And that night in a tent we counted all our money
41
And we figured out how long we could stay
42
The way it looked to me we could live here forever
43
Sleep in the campground, eat falafel every day
44
But that's not what we came here to do
45
We had so much more left to see
46
And though this place felt so nice
47
We made our plans to leave
48
And we went to this park where they had free bikes at the gate
49
Spent the day riding through the trees and it felt great
50
We were offered a place to stay on the floor of someone's office
51
But we chose to sleep beside the interstate
52
And the sounds of the cars passing by
53
Put us right to sleep
54
Nothin' beats layin' right under the stars
55
And I always feel safe when you're sleepin' beside me
