Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Down from my ceiling Drips great noise. It drips on my head through a hole in the roof. Behind these two hills here There's a pool. And when I'm swimming in through a tunnel I shut my eyes. Inside their cabin I make sounds In through the tubes I send this noise. Behind these two hills here fall asleep. And when I flood in green grass of tunnel... It floods back. Down from my ceiling drips great noise. It drips on my head through a hole in the roof. Behind these two hills here there's a pool. And when I'm swimming in through a tunnel I shut my eyes.
