VERTIGO
Mini Mansions Alex Turner Lyrics

Oh you know me from all my videos,
You know me from watching me in videos.

Isn't it time we hit the road?
Shouldn't we leave and start out on a journey?

Oh, you want me, that's all you need to know
You desire me, that's the only relevant fact.

Wish you were mine, I got to go
I wish I could be with you, but I need to leave.

Oh you miss me, our love's in stereo.
You feel my absence, our connection is strong.

Isn't it finer in mono?
Wouldn't it be better to focus on each other without distractions?

Oh you feel me, I rim from head to toe.
You sense me all over your body.

You say goodbye I say hello.
You leave, I greet the situation.

Oh you know, that's how it goes
You are aware that this is typical.

Oh you know, that vertigo
You understand that feeling of dizziness and confusion.

Oh you know, honey
You have knowledge, dear.

Get your loving on the low
Express your affection discreetly.

Don't you know ya give me that vertigo
You cause me to experience vertigo.

Strictly stick shift witchcraft
The magic of the manual transmission.

She's miss been there, did that.
She is experienced.

Bought the cat suit
She acquired a tight-fitting bodysuit.

I'm not used to raising the roof then telling the truth
I am not accustomed to wild partying and then coming clean.

I thought I wasn't but I was losing my mind
I believed I was sane, but I was actually going crazy.

When she showed me how the night was supposed to sound
When she revealed the correct way to enjoy the night.

I realized that then whenever I shut my eyes
I comprehended the lesson then and always remembered it.

Well there she offered, looking like a million dollars
Then she made an offer, appearing expensive and attractive.

In a briefcase or a duffle bag by high noon tomorrow
In a suitcase or a backpack, tomorrow at midday.

Just make sure you're not followed
Be certain no one is tailing you.

And since you're such a stunner
And because you are so attractive.

Send her something sunset coloured
Give her a gift that is the color of sunset.

Let's make love to one another
Let's engage in physical intimacy.

Run for Cover.
Take cover or flee the area.

Oh you need me, a cancer from the sky
You require me, a celestial being that causes destruction.

Burning up life, too cool to die.
Consuming existence, too fashionable to perish.

Oh you move me, crescendos cuff the link
You inspire me, music's rising intensifies the connection.

She is on the verge, I'm on the brink.
She is close to something big, and I'm at the threshold of grave consequences.

What's the line, where's your mind, what's it for?
What's the rule, what's your thinking, what's the purpose?

What's the time, did you find what you're dying for?
What time is it, did you find what you're desperately seeking?

What's the night, where's the light from the door?
What time of night is it, where is the light from outside?

What's the life, where's the knife you keep hiding for?
What kind of life is it, where is the weapon you conceal?

Where's the rhyme from the lines on before?
Where is the connection to the previous verses?

Was it mine, just the kind you've been fighting for?
Was it my own, the type you've been searching for?

Some RX, are you next, are you more?
Some prescription drugs, are you the next to try them, are they insufficient?

Where's my mind, what's that knock on the door?
Where is my mind at, who's knocking on the door?

Oh you know, that's your M.O.
You understand that's your mode of operation.

Oh you know, that vertigo
You realize that dizzying feeling.

Oh you know, honey, get your loving on the low
You recognize that, dear, you should express your affection secretly.

Don't you know ya give me that vertigo?
Don't you know you make me feel dizzy?

Oh you know, that's how it goes
You're familiar with how situations unfold.

Oh you know, that vertigo
You're acquainted with that feeling of vertigo.

Oh you know, honey
You're aware, dear.

Get your loving on the low
Be secretive with how you express your love.

Don't you know ya give me that vertigo
You cause me to experience that feeling of dizziness.
