Islands - Vertigo (If It's A Crime) Lyrics



Islands - Vertigo (If It's A Crime) Lyrics




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 beat keeping time
Is it a crime to pass the blame
If 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
But 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 tried to set things straight
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
