Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Run your fingers down the cool underbelly of the blue evening Crank that vapor-wagon Start that kick dragon beating Step out on the patio Follow where your daddy-o's leading Wrestle with our shadow twins Hold'em till they're glowin' in warning Hit that bubble kit now Laughin' as you breathe out, easy Drop another daffodil We can push on through till morning Drop another daffodil Sail off the map until morning Baby just say no to sleep Bodies got to keep exploring Sweet volcano violence, vast new continents spawning Drop another daffodil We can push on through till morning Drop another daffodil Sail right off the map until morning Put another record on Maybe Chaka Khan or Rocky Catch on fire above the Green empire of the kraken Flow with the isosceles To the beat of six knees knocking Drop another daffodil We can push on through till morning Drop another daffodil Sail right off the map until morning
