Vertigo

I get lost in the park confused not

Knowing the cardinal points

Feels like I'm out in the countryside the old

Airport's just kidding me

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want

I return to this place another time, another

Purpose, night has become day

The bar hasn't open yet but I reckon the

Sofa through the window

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want

My friends who sat there then in the smoky dust

Now sit in front of their computers

In their homeland further north full of

Everyday life

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want

Yesterday I got a gift I blew out the

Candle, it was somebody's birthday

It was my father's birthday too, we celebrated

And he joined us

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want

My room on the loft, pale blue and coffee - I know our

Secrets live here beside each other

What then was on the fringe and far away now is

In the center of it all

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want

From high above I see

The daylight, a flash, and the dust from a star

I got lost, lose my direction, but I'm

Home and I feel safe

You don't always get what you see

You don't always see what you get

You don't always get what you want
