Amsterdam (Mungo’s Hi Fi x Eva Lazarus) Songtext
von Mungo’s Hi Fi

Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you


Broke up with my man and went to Amsterdam, alone
So I packed a bag and I called a cab
I switched off my phone
Empty chair next to me
Just my luck, window seat
I′m already loving being on my own
I'm already loving being all alone
In a little cafe
With a little high grade
Maybe it′s a little too strong
But when in Rome
I do as the Romans do
Build me up a spliff or two
Inhale, exhale
Say hi
Hi, to the new

Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you

If you're waiting for the smoke to clear, keep waiting
My whole week is eat enough
Origami, treeing paintings
I will never feel alone
Jamming with Van Gough and Frida Kahlo
Bun the stress and bun the trouble
Floating around the city save up in this bubble
You couldn't burst if you tried
Hate to say it to you killed my vibe


You killed my vibe and harshed my buzz
Life is blessed, till there was us
Rode until the wheels fell off
Crushed the whole thing into dust
Dug a hole, buried us, nothing left to reconstruct
Last few months were kinda dead
Saltiness the sourness

Them kind of flavors ain′t the one
Need some seasoning some rum
Need to Jet, needed fun
Need to do it on my ones
Need to get you off my cloud
Heaviness it brings us down
Put some space between us
Then put the sea between us
Cool of this heat between us

I wasn′t wrong, was right to leave us
Behind been kinda low and I needed to climb
Hurt for a second but giving it time
I am on my j's and it′s feeling so nice
Dam's a healer, booked a flight

Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted (after you)
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted

Part-timer in the city, set the trail ablaze
Eyelids kind of heavy but I′m wide-awake
Broken from the day we had to separate
But I'm feeling so much better now I′m miles away
In a haze lose myself for days
Find myself again
Boarding on a plane
Hungry for a change
Little change of scene
Colour it in green
Sprinkle it with herbs
Happy in my world
Never been better

Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
Needed to get lifted
Needed to get lifted after you
