Thunder Creek
Matthew Taranto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a rather shocking channel, so to speak.
From the moment when you first arrive,
You'll be fighting to get out alive,
For fairly few folk survive Thunder Creek.
So you're asking how to make it through Thunder Creek?
Well you may just stand a chance with this technique.
And you gotta be nimble, bold and brave,
Or else this'll be your grave, Thunder Creek.
(Thunder Creek)
So go, little tadpole,
Turn around, head back,
And don't give it a second glance.
No (no), little tadpole,
You'll be someone's snack.
Frankly you don't stand a chance.
Bigger fish than you try to swim through Thunder Creek,
(Thunder Creek)
Like a hammerhead shark that had a fine physique,
Or the nine-headed hydra standing tall,
Or his friend: a leviathan known to maul,
But what destroys them all? Thunder Creek!
We're amazed you're still alive in Thunder Creek,
And this catchy refrain has almost reached its peak.
For a brief moment kiddo, you've matured.
No matter what happens, you can rest assured,
You're the child that endured Thunder Creek.
(Thunder Creek)
So go, little tadpole.
Find your way back home.
Swim for that sanctum you seek!
Go, go, go, little tadpole.
You are almost done.
(Well done!)
And when you get back you can say that you took it in stride
Inside
Thunder Creek!
Thunder Creek!

Hi, My names Yoshi
I think I love you
I'll be your best pal
Specially when you don't want me to!
We'll go for walks and travel the frontier
When you go away I'll be right here
When you are lonely
I'll give you comfort
And when you're hurt
I'll carry yo friend
Your my provider
Even when I'm bad
Oh by the way, I'm
Sorry about the egg in your den
Whether the weather
We'll stick together
Flowers and feathers
Are our playthings
That's the way things
Just you and me pal
Hero and his steed
You're all I need
And if we slip up
Just know that
While I cant finish
This adventure with you
Your my best buddy and I'm just glad that..
I could be a part of your life and your heart too.
Thanks for the memories. Keep your eye out for me......
Maybe one day soon we'll meet again!
