Lyrics Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Vertigo

What is the force

Pulling me like gravity?

Into your world

I'm swirling inescapably

Tangling my tongue

When I try to speak

Caught up in confusion

Leaving me so weak

The earth below drags me down

I'm grabbing on to air

When I go to reach out

I don't like these heights

But you don't ever let me down

Will you girl

I want you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo

Won't you come closer

I feel secure when you're near

Don't take me so high

I cannot breath in this atmosphere

Hold me tight

I'm in the iron group of fear

Stay at my side

The drop is so sheer

You move in light years

And I can barely crawl

What seems like forever

Is no real time at all

If I look down, I know, I know I'm gonna fall

All the way, girl

I need you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo, vertigo

Every night

I'm hounded by this one dream

You speak

But I never know what the words mean

Until it's too late

And I feel my foot slip

Eyes shut tight

I know I'm in the grip

Then my fingers

One by one

Loosen their hold

Become undone

It pulls so hard

I must succumb

You know what it is

Round I go, spinning and whirling

Round I go, vision is blurring

Round I go, falling, falling

Vertigo

Vertigo

Vertigo
