Vertigo Motel Lyrics
You’ve got me hanging by my throat
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
As I die my eyes glaze over
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
In the silent twilight I heard the crickets cry
As the holocaust horizon victimized the sky
In the bowels of a small town spins a vortex of hell
Neon red like the vacancy sign at the Vertigo Motel
Won’t you come and shatter my glass heart?
Inject black tar in my arteries.
You always knew just what to say
From birth, deathbed into the grave
I’m spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
Vital organs on the dance floor, gyrating to the beat
As the ghost of the goat head wanders through the street
Exacting revenge, he drowns his victims in a well
For his murder 40 years ago at the Vertigo Motel.
Won’t you come and shatter my glass heart?
Inject black tar in my arteries
You always knew just what to say
You always knew just what to say
From birth, deathbed, into the grave
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
In the silent twilight I heard the crickets cry
As the holocaust horizon victimized the sky
In the bowels of a small town spins a vortex of hell
Neon red like the vacancy sign at the Vertigo Motel
Won’t you come and shatter my glass heart?
Inject black tar in my arteries
You’ve got me hanging by my throat
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
As I die my eyes glaze over
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
Swaying
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
As I die my eyes glaze over
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
As the holocaust horizon victimized the sky
In the bowels of a small town spins a vortex of hell
Neon red like the vacancy sign at the Vertigo Motel
Inject black tar in my arteries.
From birth, deathbed into the grave
I’m spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
As the ghost of the goat head wanders through the street
Exacting revenge, he drowns his victims in a well
For his murder 40 years ago at the Vertigo Motel.
Inject black tar in my arteries
From birth, deathbed, into the grave
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
As the holocaust horizon victimized the sky
In the bowels of a small town spins a vortex of hell
Neon red like the vacancy sign at the Vertigo Motel
Inject black tar in my arteries
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze
As I die my eyes glaze over
Swinging from a tree
Swaying in the breeze

This is probably my favorite DFD song... It goes through so many different styles...
This song is crazy?!
lyrics wise, anarchists of good taste was dfd's best. i dread they will never become that good again XD
to me this is about deceit and maybe some wish for revenge.
if i was going to play a song for someone that would resemble DFD it would be this one. they use so many different styles and then put most of them together in this song. brilliant!
I listen to this song and Rapist Eyes all fuckin' day. I need nothing else.
To me this song has to do with Heroin addiction (Much like China white)
The first verse depicts how Heroin has you swinging by a noose, or how Heroin can slowly kill you. Followed by a depiction of a very sketchy to say the least hotel which is basically saying how most heroin addicts can find comfort in the weirdest of places just to shoot up.
Thus into the chorus part inject Black tar etc. Then the "You always knew just what to say" which is kinda the narrator saying Heroin always comforts them and always knew how to.
