Lyrics Dinosaurs - Chris Murray

Dinosaurs

When the earth was newly forming and mankind had yet to be
Lived a mighty race of giant, strong of claw and sharp of teeth
Dinosaurs
They were swimming in the ocean 'til they crawled up from the sea
Then one day they started flying and they reigned the world supreme
Dinosaurs
Grandma’s sewing denim patches on the pants of destiny
At the dawning of an era, watching history repeat
It’s lookin' like the easy answer is to blame society for the wars
They were swimming in the ocean 'til they crawled up from the sea
Then one day they started dying, 'til the last one disappeared
No they never saw it coming, though the signs were there to see
Dinosaurs
Now the earth is slowly warming and we’re chopping down the trees
To the children of tomorrow we hand down this legacy
Never tired of playing with matches, even crawling from the ashes — humanity
They were watching television, fixing cars and chasing dreams
Then somebody pushed a button and they vanished into steam
That they never saw it coming, they would swear it and believe
Dinosaurs
They were swimming in the ocean 'til they crawled up from the sea
Then one day they started flying and they reigned the world supreme
Though they never saw it coming, it was sudden and complete
For dinosaurs…
