islands - vertigo (if it's a crime) lyrics

big boat caught in my throat
it’s the deck hand hitting the wrong notes
came to with a pain in my gut again
i cut it open wide, took out a box
inside the box there was a beat keeping time
is it a crime to p-ss the blame
if every time the punishment is the same?
life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth
so get it out get it out
dig that ditch
ditch that dirt
it’s just a body now
pick me up so i can fall back down again
decending into vertigo
if it’s a crime they’ll hang me every time
i tried to offer up a reason why
i tried, my dear, to set things straight
i fear 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
but the jury’s out creeping about & i am a guilty man
and the cyst is growing into this
so i drowned in the boat i choked down
and the captain remained proud
looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me
and now the ground is coming up my sleeves
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 tried to offer up a reason why
i tried, my dear, to set things straight
i fear 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 fear that i was too late to be cleared of the crime
