Vertigo Lyrics

Kristin Hersh Vertigo

And in the subsequent solitude Flat on your backs again We think shoot You don't wanna walk me down this avenue in hell Scared that I'll bicker with the devil herself

My attitude's fundamentally off I left my heart on a frozen sidewalk Kicked around and sliding on the dirty ice Half a shell of former selves Bury me twice

Isn't this a lousy drug Isn't this a pretty fall Isn't this vertigo Isn't this wonderful

This place makes me feel I'm dead haunting it Comes when you steal a Persephone pit Swallowed with the oxygen that bruised up your bones Swallowed with the pathetic cry take me home

Isn't this a lousy drug Isn't this a pretty fall Isn't this vertigo Isn't this wonderful
