Vertigo (Do the Demolition) Lyrics

Hey you guys
Turn it up to get sleazy
Twist it in a vice.
Nobody said it was easy
Just use your naked eyes.
How to see and how to hide it
How to save it well maybe maybe maybe
You can take it and eat it and chew your life supply

Where's the real life in your illusion
On the dark side of power and confusion.
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.

Don't you feel edgy
Bite your lips and bleed.
Conversation is empty abandoned in the breeze.
Freedom is your condemnation
Free to say well maybe maybe maybe
You can take it or leave it just need a little hit tonight

Where's the real life in your illusion
On the dark side of power and confusion.
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.

You can take it or leave it
Just need a little help tonight.

Where's the real life in your illusion
On the dark side of power and confusion.
You do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.

Hear it when you listen
You can't hear when you don't listen.
Hear it when you listen
You can't hear when you don't listen.

This was from their Hitchcockian album. It's about drugs.

Heard Simon wrote it mostly to/for John...

This has to be written for John. John's addiction was getting worse by the point I believe. I'm glad he has abandoned the drugs. Let's hope so anyway.

I wonder why John got addicted and Simon didn't. I know they both did it, but John was almost consumed.

@vlcupper Hmmmm...Wonder if his love life was awful at the time.
