Lyrics for Body of Water

I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home You're where you want to be Where am I? I'm up a tree I had a heart attack Rolled away, now I'm bouncing back I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home Forgive me for feeling sick I think I just got up too quick Is this the consequence Of an out of bed experience? Where I'm from, this sun don't shine We keeps the light on all the time I walk upon the ground you dream about You finding out about it now But you are never clever to be found I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home Summer could take a hint Seeing you in a floral print Oh, to become a pearl In the wordy world of the Cornflake Girl I will cross this body of water If you promise me you won't try this at home Don't try this at home Don't try this at home Don't try this at home Don't try this at home
