Vertigo (if It's A Crime)

Big bloat caught in my throat
It's a ______ hit in the wrong note
Came to with a pain in my gut again
Cut it open wide took out a box
Inside the box there was...a bee keeping time
Is it a crime to pass the blame?
Every time the punishment's the same
Life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth
So get it out, get it out
Dig that ditch, and 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 try to offer up a reason why
I tried, my dear to set things straight I feel 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
The jury's out, a-creepin' about and yet I am a guilty man
And the cyst is growing into this
So I drowned on the boat I choked down and took the captain, the main prow

I looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me and
Now the ground is coming up my sleeve

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 try to offer up a reason why
I tried, my dear to set things straight I feel 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 feel that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
