  • Oh you know me from all my videos,
    Isn't it time we hit the road?
    Oh, you want me, that's all you need to know
    Wish you were mine, I got to go

    Oh you miss me, our love's in stereo.
    Isn't it finer in mono?
    Oh you feel me, I rim from head to toe.
    You say goodbye I say hello.

    Oh you know, that's how it goes
    Oh you know, that vertigo
    Oh you know, honey
    Get your loving on the low
    Don't you know ya give me that vertigo

    Strictly stick shift witchcraft
    She's miss been there, did that.
    Bought the cat suit
    I'm not used to raising the roof then telling the truth
    I thought I wasn't but I was losing my mind
    When she showed me how the night was supposed to sound
    I realized that then whenever I shut my eyes

    Well there she offered, looking like a million dollars
    In a briefcase or a duffle bag by high noon tomorrow
    Just make sure you're not followed
    And since you're such a stunner
    Send her something sunset coloured
    Let's make love to one another
    Run for Cover.

    Oh you know, that's how it goes
    Oh you know, that vertigo
    Oh you know, honey
    Get your loving on the low
    Don't you know ya give me that vertigo

    Oh you need me, a cancer from the sky
    Burning up life, too cool to die.
    Oh you move me, crescendos cuff the link
    She is on the verge, I'm on the brink.

    What's the line, where's your mind, what's it for?
    What's the time, did you find what you're dying for?
    What's the night, where's the light from the door?
    What's the life, where's the knife you keep hiding for?
    Where's the rhyme from the lines on before?
    Was it mine, just the kind you've been fighting for?

    Some RX, are you next, are you more?
    Where's my mind, what's that knock on the door?

    Oh you know, that's your M.O.
    Oh you know, that vertigo
    Oh you know, honey, get your loving on the low
    Don't you know ya give me that vertigo?

    Oh you know, that's how it goes
    Oh you know, that vertigo
    Oh you know, honey
    Get your loving on the low
    Don't you know ya give me that vertigo Writer/s: Alexander David Turner, Michael Jay Shuman, Tyler Davis Parkford, Zachary Edwin Dawes
