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 Always Been Something I Excel In
Followed By Naivet
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 Judgments 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
