Vertigo

You're on a highwire and I'm climbing out And I feel the danger as I steal a kiss from your mouth And I will try to hold steady Wanna make you believe That the height of this tightrope is just second nature to me But I will break All my bones 'Cause I lied about the vertigo And I have Never been up this high There'll be no safety net When I fall right our of the sky There will be no ambulance waiting And I have no wings to fly So we will meet on the borders, Barefoot and blessed In colorful graveyards with flower bouquets for the dead And I don't ask you to promise That I will not come to harm But when the wind tugs my courage will you be my brother in arm 'Cause I will break All my bones 'Cause I lied about the vertigo And I have Never been up this high There'll be no safety net When I fall right our of the sky There will be no ambulance waiting And I have no wings to fly Oh the view from this height High above the ferriswheel lights Might cause me to sway But I am teaching myself to be brave And I may break all my bones 'Cause I lied about the vertigo And I have Never been up this high There'll be no safety net When I fall right our of the sky There will be no ambulance waiting And I have no wings to fly --- Vertigo - Antje Duvekot
