Lyrics

They Call Him Vertigo

As the needle falls upon the plate
And the music fills the room
The heat, his sway, the mood
My pa looks tired
When he pulls his hands away

There's a whisper stuck between 2 ears
And the subject line is me
Repentent wife; a sick child
(a) leaning house
(on a) broken street
(It all fades) when he pulls my hands away

Don't you wanna know?
No I don't wanna know
How can't you wanna know?
They call him Vertigo

Like a priest caught in a love affair
The darting eyes grow tired of war
She says "one half of some beats all of none"
I should've turned the other cheek

Don't you wanna know
No I don't wanna know
But you gotta know
They call him Vertigo

For the 100 nights I've felt this old
There a 100 more flushed through that door
Of the 50 nights I feel this way
Not a one of thems a wasted day
(You're the only)
