King Crimson Lyrics
"Dinosaur"

Intro

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 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
I'm a dinosaur

Oh, when i look back on the past
some 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
and now i toss and turn

I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur

Solo

I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
