Vertigo Lyrics

Strike while the iron is hot

Pull up the gear-shift and drive

Don’t ask me how far we got

Or what time we'll arrive

The air is bone dust and ash

The earth is fire and mace

Bring your tennis racket

Pour some milk on your face

Vertigo

The ground cracks under your feet

The buildings moving in waves

I see you spinning off-axis

Disintegrating in rage

The sunlight sets on their guns

Somehow the days re-begin

You’re still an open wound

Flapping wild in the wind

Vertigo

I can’t slow down

I’m spinning and I need to keep moving on

This time you feel it without

This time you feel it within

They stalk and intercept you

From under your skin

Under their demon red cloud

Where do we go from here?

You’re spitting bloodlust out loud

I’m still trying to steer

The streets are piling with tires

Someone stole all the cash

This time you carry the barrel

And I’ll flick the match

This time they blew up the place

This time they made their bed

Not a single one spoke out

Come rip these fuckers to shreds

Maybe they pushed us too far

Till there was nowhere to go

If we scream in this hall of mirrors

Can anybody hear us?

Will anybody know?

Can anybody hear at all?

Vertigo

I can’t slow down

I’m spinning & I need to keep moving on
