Lyrics Dinosaur - Adrian Belew

Dinosaur

long ago and far away in a different age
when i was a dumb young guy
fossilized photos of my life then
illustrate what an easy prey i must have been
standing in the sun, idiot savant
something like a monument
i m a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
ignorance has alway been something i excel in followed by naivete and pride
doesn t take a scientist to see how
any clever predator could have a piece of me standing in the sun, idiot savant
something like a monument
i m a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
when i look back on the past
it s a wonder i m not yet extinct
all the mistakes and bad judgements i made
nearly pushed me to the brink
it doesn t pay to be too nice
it s the one thing i have learned
still, i made my fossil bed
now i toss and turn
i m a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
