King Crimson Dinosaur Lyrics

Dinosaur Lyrics

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
