Dinosaur Memory Lyrics

It is raining outside

I long to be part of that wet world tour

A pompous lizard with dinosaur memory and contour

But I have locked myself in

And the rain spilling

Down the windowpane

Is just a reminder

Of what I l have lost or gained

It doesn't matter

I am young, and it can wait

And anyway, the battle scars only flatter

I think it's splashing

To be precise

But soon it turns to rivulets

Doves crying in the wind

And we all pay a price

Now thunder closes in

With the cracking of a million kernels

Competing with the rampaging rhinos in my head

And I cannot find my journal

So.. alone with my thoughts

In this strategic withdrawal

I think of the ransom that is too high

I think of the hangman who falls from up high

I think of the army led by a Goliath

I think of the storm we are in the eye of

And yes, I think of the lovelorn and torn

The bleak, the downtrodden, the forlorn

And if the sky is falling, Chicken Little

With your surgical gloves and hatchet

How do we avoid the hit?

How do we learn to love Nurse Ratched?

Can I shine a penny

And make it worth a song

Can I change anything

With a dictum that is wrong

Will anything of value

Not tarnish in this incult hand

Will anything of value

Not tarnish in this incult hand

Will anything of value

Ever equal the brand

The rain and the thunder

Keep calling me, calling me out

The window can be smashed

The door key can be found

To have the rain in my face

To have the earth at my feet

To forget about the dangers

Of wins and defeats

To forget about the island I created

To forget about the ramparts and the moat

To forget about the angels

To forget about the antidote
