Peter Doherty
Vertigo
[Verse 1]
Koreema knows just what it is she does
But it can't be hard for her to get a buzz
Down in the street below
Hear the drunken archangel sing
I know what's on your mind, my boy
'Cause I can see, oh, everything
Lead pipes, your fortunes made
Well, take a tip from me
Climb up to her window ledge or you'll forever be

[Chorus]
Just walking under ladders
As the people around you hear you crying, "Please"
As the people around you hear you crying, "Please"
As they hear you—

[Verse 2]
Lead pipes, your fortunes made
Well, take a tip from me
Climb up to her window ledge or you'll forever be

[Chorus]
Just walking under ladders
As the people around you hear you crying, "Please"
As the people around you hear you crying, "Please"
As they hear you—
[Verse 3]
Who really knows just what it is she does?
It can't be hard for her to get a buzz
The rapture of vertigo
And letting go
Me, myself, and I was never sure
Was it liquor or was it my soul?
