Dinosaur Lyrics - Adrian Belew

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 

I'm a dinosaur 

Somebody is digging my bones 

Ignorance has alway been something I excel in 

Followed by naivety 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 

I'm a dinosaur 

Ooh, 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 

And now I toss and turn 

I'm a dinosaur 

Somebody is digging my bones 

I'm a dinosaur 

Somebody is digging my bones 

I'm a dinosaur 

Somebody is digging my bones 

I'm a dinosaur 

Somebody is digging my bones
