Vertigo (if It's A Crime) lyrics

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
