Back to the Beginning
Kirby Krackle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
spinning out yeah and dodging all the turtle parts
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to get back to the beginning!
Life's a highway of Do or Die's,
Lightning bolt shrunk me damn near 1,000 times
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to get back to the beginning...
I've got Italians on either side,
I've got a feeling things aren't gonna get better,
so I ride!
There's nothing better than a Blue Shell,
Send it off yeah and send the leader straight to hell
Somebody help me, I'm trying to get back to the beginning!
It's hard to show someone how it feels,
spending half your life slipping on banana peels
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to get back to the beginning...
I've got a princess in my rear view mirror,
I've got Italians on either side,
I've got a feeling things aren't gonna get better,
so I ride!
Well sometimes you get off track,
and then a little yellow man in a smiling cloud brings us back
It's easy to wander far from the shore...
I can't compete with an evil clone,
wearing matching clothes, race me like a throroughbred, little mushroom head
Somebody help me? I'm trying to get back to the beginning
I've got a princess in my rear view mirror,
I've got Italians on either side,
I've got a feeling things aren't gonna get better,
so I ride!
I've got a princess in my rear view mirror,
I've got Italians on either side,
I've got a feeling things aren't gonna get better,
so I ride, I ride, ride, ride...
