Dinosaur by 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 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
