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
