Cannonball

I see the girl that I've always adored
A body like that deserves some kind of award
I imagine her naked with a towel in my lap
My own telekinesis (something about a book in a strap?)
I'm tired of sleeping with a broken heart
Gotta get out and got to make a brand new start
Cannonball,cannonballin'
Cannonball gonna get you wet
Wetter than a waterfall
Cannonball has got it's hooks in me
Do it at every opportunity
Much more fun and less appropriate
I search the land for the ultimate (and failing)
Oh preacher, teach a man at risk of demise
Evil princess put tears in my eyes
Cannonball, cannonballin'
Cannonball, gonna get you wet
Wetter than a waterfall
How dare you
Cannonball, cannonballin'
Cannonball gonna get you wet
Wetter than a waterfall.
Cannonball, cannonballin'
Cannonball gonna get you wet
Wetter than a waterfall
