Vertigo - Antje Duvekot

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
