"Tidal Wave"


Feel me coming- feel the tremor- hear the thunder
Of your heart pound
You’re surrounded- no way up to- no way over
To the higher ground
I’m sweeping closer- roller coaster on the seven seas- feel the breeze
I’m breaking down on you- there’s no way out
So scream and shout in Japanese

Tusnami noyoonee ataku suduwaa

Can you feel the riptide?
Are you all washed out?
A blazing tail-slide
Past a waterspout
Feel the reach
>From down below
Cuz you can’t fight
The undertow

Hold your breath, be brave, and try to keep cool
I’m going to hit you like a tidal wave
Crushing you- and now you’re caught up in a whirlpool
I’m going to hit you like a tidal wave

Prepare yourself- to be breathless- feeling restless
Keep from being drowned
Catch the tube- you’re racing forward- crouching lower
At the speed of sound
All coiled up to inundate you- saturate you- there’s no place to hide
I’ll hunt you down as you surf faster- looking back completely petrified

Can you feel the riptide?
Are you all washed out?
A blazing tailslide
Past a water spout
Don’t fight the current
Our lives converge
I’ll overwhelm you
As we both submerge

Hold your breath, be brave, and try to keep cool
I’m going to hit you like a tidal wave
Crushing you- and now you’re caught up in a whirlpool
I’m going to hit you like a tidal wave
