Lyrics

Vertigo

[Verse 1]

Dear people I've

Seen something I

Can't leave alone or give to chance no matter how I try

Born from the knowledge of a girl

Thrown into the arms of man

The mother of necessity

The child of war...

And so I feel it and I need it

And I heed it then I let it be done

Until I know it and I show it

And it grows until we both become one

[Verse 2]

The sound of the Swiss bells

The promise of a young girl

Both falling softly on the white, white hills

Versus a famous face

In the sheen of a Cadillac

See you some other place

Man, I'm going back

To where I'm captured and caressed

And life's undressed and left where living belongs

To where I feel it and it heals

And we've revealed until we both become one

[Chorus]

I see the foot of the hill

Embrace the sky and then it's easy (It's everything)

Forget Framo and I

I wonder why and see the real me (It's easy)

I climb to the top of the tower

I see a shooting star

Reach out to touch it and it falls...

Alone

[Verse 3]

Now that her smile has stuck

I cannot go back to your frownland

Now that her sun is up

I cannot go back to your downland

Because I feel it and I need it

And I heed it and I let it be done

Until I know it and I show it

And it grows until we just become one

[Chorus]

So bin your filas babe

Pull on your shoes and scale the real heights (It's easy)

The gifts that goodness gave

Destroys the blues and leave a love light (It's everything)

We climb to the top of the tower

We see a shooting star

Reach out to touch it and we fall...

As one
