Vertigo

I grab a hold of your hand but then we both go tumbling
Tumbling, fallin
We used to makin a stand in the sinkin sand
Aint we darlin'?
No need to make up your mind when it's already made
We got all that we need right here on parade
Welcome to this dance we call ?????
There's something to this dance, somethin to it
We call it vertigo
Just do the best you can do, that you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don't look down and hang on to it
Vertigo
I take you out for a ride but you're already there
You got the breeze in your hair
You've been asleep at the wheel
Well here's your wake up call
Beware
You fallen under the wheels of a million dreams
I know how that feels
I know just what you mean
Gettin' caught in the wheels of the pagentry
Of a big machine
Can't keep it clean
What do they mean
Oh the vertigo
Just do the best that you can do
That you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don't look down
Hang on to it
Vertigo
I could be put you on but you'd just wear me out
Like a sweater
I could lend you my heart and my soul for a while
That'd be better
You've fallen under the wheels of a million dreams
I know how that feels i know just what you need
Getting caught in the wheels of the pagentry
Of the mystery of the big machine
Can't keep it clean
What do they mean?
Oh the vertigo
Just do the best that you can do
That you know
Everyday the wind will blow
So don't look down
Hang on to it
Vertigo
