King Crimson - 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 always 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 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
