Vertigo - Kristin Hersh

And in the subsequent solitude

Flat on your backs again

We think shoot

You don’t wanna walk me down this avenue in hell

Scared that I’ll bicker with the devil herself

My attitude’s fundamentally off

I left my heart on a frozen sidewalk

Kicked around and sliding on the dirty ice

Half a shell of former selves

Bury me twice

Isn’t this a lousy drug

Isn’t this a pretty fall

Isn’t this vertigo

Isn’t this wonderful

This place makes me feel I’m dead haunting it

Comes when you steal a Persephone pit

Swallowed with the oxygen that bruised up your bones

Swallowed with the pathetic cry take me home

Isn’t this a lousy drug

Isn’t this a pretty fall

Isn’t this vertigo

Isn’t this wonderful
