Lyrics:

The sins of Amsterdam

Were still a recent surprise

And we were flying over

Scandinavian skies

We climbed towards the sun

We turned and cursed as one

We pulled the shades

And closed our eyes

The Stockholm city lights

Were slowly starting to rise

And we were strapped against

Those Scandinavian skies
