La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

There's a creepy little house in a creepy little place
Little creepy town in a little creepy world
Little creepy girl with her little creepy face
Saying funny things you have never heard

Do you know what it's all about
Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts

Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high
And you'll be walking on air

She has a creepy little cat and a creepy little bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl, oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift, an amazing thing

With her funny little eyes of hazel
With her funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that

Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high
And you'll be walking on air

Feel this, unless you kill it
Go on, and you're forgiven
I knew that, I could feel that
I feel like, I am walking on air

Flitter up, and
Hover down, be
All around, be
All around

You know that I love you
Go on

Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
I knew that and I could feel that
I feel like, I'm walking on air

I'm walking on air
