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 sunidiot savant


Something like a monument





I’m a dinosaursomebody 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 sunidiot savant


Something like a monument





I’m a dinosaursomebody 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 dinosaursomebody is digging my bones
