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
