Vertigo Blues

Dirk Blanchart


Spare me the Judas kiss
on my cheek
Don't tell me nothing about the age
of credibility
Seems like everybody's swinging the axe
but where is the tree ?
Somebody lift me up
somebody make me understand
why it's so hard to please the world
& your mama & yourself
at the same time
I kinda struggle with the freedom
that I fought so hard to get
My mind is with the eagles, baby
but my body ain't yet

Won't you step into my shoes ?
I've got the vertigo blues again
I've got the vertigo blues again

I saw the fisherman
standing too close to the rim
I felt the earth move slightly,
I was sure the rocks would do me in
But it was just my imagination
brooding under my skin ...

Won't you step into my shoes ?
I've got the vertigo blues again
I've got the vertigo blues again

Whatever happened to the marching bands?
They played so nicely out of tune
The sun was burning holes in the sand
it was June
Whatever happened to the Holy Man ?
He walked on water, that's for sure
He should have warned me there were days ahead
without you

Somebody lift me up
somebody make me understand
why it's so hard to please the whole world
& your mama & yourself
at the same time ...

Won't you step into my shoes ?
I've got the vertigo blues again
I've got the vertigo blues again
I've got the vertigo blues again
I've got the vertigo blues again
