Dinosaur - 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

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
