Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - Vertigo Lyrics

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 won't ever let me down, will you, girl?
I want you so, falling, falling vertigo, vertigo

Won't you come closer, I feel secure when you're near
Don't take me so high, I cannot breathe 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
