Attack Of The Drumheller Dinosaur! Lyrics

I was working in this tourist store

Giving directions to the dinosaur

Handing little maps out through the window

You'd pretend to be from out of town

Like you didn't know your way around

I'd say "step into my office and i'll show you"

You'd close the blinds

Kick off your shoes

Say "god, it's good just to sit with you"

We didn't need to touch

We'd only hide

I had a bottle in the bottom drawer

We used to look out at the dinosaur

And pretend she was coming to life

We'd be like

"Oh my God, we've got to go!

There's no time for goodbyes

So grab your keys

So start your car

And let's just drive"

It was only a bit

But I still have these dreams where it happens

It was only for the summer

It was intended to be temporary

Then i blew all my savings on the volvo

You had this map of all the lakes

We drew a route in ballpoint

The plan was to get started

In the fall

Oh

And didn't the road seem so long back then?

Wasn't the landscape vast?

Didn't the lakes seem infinite and bottomless?

You sat there in that office once

Crown Royal in a coffee cup

Said "quiet now,

I'm trying to remember this"

And oh my god

It was getting so late

The sun was going down already

We thought we could

Hold it in our hands

It was only a moment

It slipped through our fingers like sand

It's a hundred and six steps

Up to the so called observation deck

I think we just went up there

That one night

As we looked out through her mouth

I was saying to myself

We got time

We got time

We got time

We got time

We got time

We got time
