Vertigo (if itis a crime)

Big boat caught in my throat It's the deck hand hitting the wrong notes Came to with a pain in my gut again I cut it open wide, took out a box Inside the box there was a bee keeping time Is it a crime to pass the blame Every time the punishment is the same? Life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth So get it out, get it out Dig that ditch, ditch that dirt it's just a body now Pick me up so I can fall back down again Descending into vertigo If it's a crime they'll hang me every time I tried to offer up a reason why I tried, my dear to set things straight I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime I just missed a slap on the wrist A key witness to the stand The jury's out creeping about And I am a guilty man And the cyst is growing into this So I drowned in the boat I choked down And the captain remained proud Looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me And now the ground is coming up my sleeves Pick me up so I can fall back down again Descending into vertigo If it's a crime they'll hang me every time I tried to offer up a reason why I tried, my dear to set things straight I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime If it's a crime they'll hang me every time I, I tried to set things straight I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
