Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water. Well have you heard? Would you believe it? Do you realise how much I know?(FILL 3) I could tell you the biggest story(FILL 4) There's no limit to the seed that I sow Yeah the suit has a hand so I shake it My greed is beginning to show Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water I'd climb the highest mountain; I'd swim the deepest ocean I'd girdle the globe just to find the magic potion That could change everything that could set me on fire Bring me down easy on wings of desire Oh to be alive, I'd suck to survive I'd do anything; to keep my head above water Head above water Head above water any comments, suggestions or corrections?
