Adrian Belew - Dinosaur

Adrian Belew - Dinosaur



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
