Song Description

How innocence makes things so easy when you are young and how much fun and uncomplicated things are as two friends take a trip starting in Amsterdam going to Arles, France. How as one grows up life can get complicated.

Lyrics

Words & Music; Jackie Carlyle

V1
We drove that paint chipped, run down van through the red light streets of Amsterdam

High on youth low on cash lookin for a place to crash and the bars that sold that legal grass

Two young dopes smoking dope laughin as we took a toke
Watched the water watched the boats and talked about Van Gogh, talked about Van Gogh

C1
We had some chocolate had some beer
Quoted lines from William Shakespeare
Talked about Johan Vermeer and Vincent's bloody ear

V2
Once we got to Arle, France the sun shone soft through filtered glass
Dusk twirled through a purple sky
And swirled into a starry night
A starry, starry night

The air smelled sweet like hyacinth
we fell asleep from too much absinth
woke up to a fractured light show
a headache played in stereo a migraine painted like Picasso

C2
Had some chocolate had some beer
Talked about the atmosphere
Presidents and puppeteers
And classes we would take next year

B1
I have never been so brilliant
not before or after that
I was young and so resilient
Now I'm old and gettin fat

I cannot make one best friend
Ya' disagree the friendship ends
Nothin lasts long these days
We just go our separate ways
