Oh, Penelope Are you filled with air? Swallowed oxygen that make you float up? Is it dropsy? Where your lungs swell? It's depressing me to see you struggle. Oh, Penelope Are you filled with air? Swallowed oxygen that make you float up? Is it dropsy? Where your lungs swell? It's depressing me to see you struggle. I'm treading water with my oars Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor I'm diving down with all my gear In search of treasure, para me corazon Take you to the forest. Let you feel the raindrops falling down Seeping through your red scales Eliminate the faucet Eliminate the need for water Replace it with a safe shell Don't want to see you floating upside down On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you Don't want to see you floating upside down No, girl Need you there Need you there Need you there Release that air I'm treading water with my oars ( Release that air ) Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor I'm diving down with all my gear ( Release that air ) In search of treasure, para me corazon Take you to the forest. Let you feel the raindrops falling down Seeping through your red scales Eliminate the faucet Eliminate the need for water Replace it with a safe shell If they summon the rains now Are you gonna rise? If they summon the rains now Are you gonna rise?
