lyrics

This Close to Vertigo

Feel like I’m gonna fall in love or to the ground.
The engine’s gonna stall and I’ll soon be going down.
The world is spinning fast. I’m feeling pretty crazed.
How long’s this gonna last? My eyes are getting glazed.

I need a rest I need a break
I’ve had all that I can take
My heart is beating in my chest
And I can’t seem to catch my breath

My knees are getting weak. My head is all aspin.
Can’t think and I can’t speak. Gonna take it on the chin.
So much is going on. Feel like I can’t keep up.
No matter how I run. Now I feel I gotta stop.

I need a rest I need a break
I’ve had all that I can take
My heart is beating in my chest
And I can’t seem to catch my breath

This close to Vertigo

My head is burning up. My face sheened in sweat
I’m trying to stay tough but I feel so inept
I need to rest a bit. Maybe just take a seat
Feel like I’ve gotten hit. Hell I’m feeling pretty beat

I need a rest I need a break
I’ve had all that I can take
My heart is beating in my chest
And I can’t seem to catch my breath
