Lyrics: |-
there's a washing machine deep inside your heart
and that's where all the dinosaurs live
their diet is mostly vegetarian but some of them
well, some of them branch out a bit
these are the carnivores inside you
who are eating you piece by piece, every day of your life
these are the carnivores living inside you
who have never paid a single cent of rent
WHEN TYRANNY SOARS OVER US
WRECKS OUR LIVES, IT'S OVER FOR US
I'M SICK TO DEATH OF THESE DINOSAURS
THESE GODDAMN TYRANNASAURS
despite eating as much as they possibly can
these dinosaurs are never satisfied
their entire existence is dedicated to this
eternal consumption
they are very inconsiderate tenants
in all manner of speaking, to be quite honest
if they had their way they'd be eating you up
until there's absolutely nothing left of you
I WANT TO TAKE THESE HANDS AND THIS HEAD
I WANT TO PUT THEM ALL IN ONE ROW
I'LL MAKE THE DINOSAUR SANDWICH OF THEIR GREAT BED
BREAK THE COCONUT OPEN AND GIVE THEM A SHOW
I CAN FEEL THEM BITING ON THEIR LITTLE CRUSADE
THEY'RE ALWAYS BITING, ALWAYS ON OVERDRIVE
IT'S NOT A MISTAKE FOR YOU TO BE AFRAID
IT'S NOT A MISTAKE FOR YOU TO BE ALIVE
(make way, and welcome the t-rex inside your heart)

Lyrics: |-
if you don't mind
just a moment of your time
to reminisce
on the moments you might have missed
collection true
all it's true just to you
you're not thinking enough
of what's all the right stuff
MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
YEAH YOU'RE ONE SICK CREATURE
CLASSIC FULL LENGTH FEATURE
SIT BACK, RELAX AND FEEL
it's not enough
going on with this bluff
did you really think
you were anything anymore
so just sit back
at this screening of your past
oh you simple tool
you were always the fool
dinosaurs driving to the theater!
dinosaurs buying tickets!
dinosaurs spilling popcorn!
dinosaurs having a wonderful time!
dinosaurs pointing and clapping!
dinosaurs always laughing!
dinosaurs are always there!
dinosaurs are always there!
eh

Lyrics: |-
gotta keep the boogie going [repeated]
there's a man there with a gun
standing there with his entourage
it doesn't matter where I go
there's always a man with a gun
the man tells me he's a close friend
he says this as he points his gun at me
now you better start to dance
or you'll find this to be the end
gotta keep the boogie going [repeated]
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GROCERY LIST
AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVEN'T MISSED
THE POWDER, THAT YOU'LL FIND BETWEEN YOUR EYES
AND FIND IT ALL INSIDE
IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WHAT I THINK
IS RIGHT OR WRONG OR WHAT I THINK IS
ALL I KNOW, ALL I FEEL
IT'S HOW I FEEL ALL THE TIME
gotta keep it going [repeated]
gotta keep it, keep the boogie
going, going

Lyrics: |-
I knew an old guy who said true love is death (deaf?)
at the time I thought I misheard
but then he told me that pain will never mend
then he started shouting many dirty words
so I laughed him off "AREN'T YOU HAVING FUN"
but then I started getting scared that I would be like him
dumb enough to think that you would really fit
but all I really found was the worst it's ever been
*escape into reality*
*with a common causality*
*except for banality*
*and extreme inhospitality*
*and the squirrel knew everything*
*except for what they didn't which was everything*
*and that's the problem see*
*but it doesn't matter, because*
[chorus]
RABBIT AND SQUIRREL DON'T TALK ANYMORE
RABBIT AND SQUIRREL DON'T TALK ANYMORE
RABBIT AND SQUIRREL DON'T TALK ANYMORE
RABBIT AND SQUIRREL ARE BROKE EVERMORE
"if there's any ever any problem then that's something I can fix"
said the rabbit to the squirrel, what a fool
you try fixing anything when getting pulled into a fix
of mass insecurity and a fear cesspool
now rabbit's sitting here with nothing really gained
except for knowledge that all people are really turds
they'll latch onto you in hopes they'll be saved
but when they ever are? the answer is never
*you didn't want just anyone*
*but you really wanted anyone*
*so you latched onto the one*
*who you already had won*
*now you got a pick-me-up*
*that you're sure you can't mess up*
*but it doesn't feel quite right*
*the relationship isn't tight*
*all can be repaired*
*but your partner is impaired so*
*make sure you declare for*
*them to be prepared that*
*they must really change but*
*no one can really change so*
*you get really mad*
*but it doesn't matter because*
[chorus]
(now I'm singing words I know you'll never hear)
(now I'm singing words I hope you'll never hear)
(but at least I know I'm free of all the lies)
(but at least I know I'm free of all the time)
(tell me, was I a good goldfish?)
(hope I was, you piece of shi-
*rabbit was in love with squirrel*
*but squirrel was in love with love*
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel are broke evermore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk anymore
rabbit and squirrel don't talk
(and I'll never let it happen again, no)
(never let it happen again)
(and I'll never let it happen again, no)
(never let it happen again)

Lyrics: |-
let the door hit me on the way out
an embarrassment but without a shout
never found the answers, not a hunch
guess I'm lucky I held onto my lunch
1. look deep inside
2. find hidden key
3. open the gate
4. see all them there
5. sick dinosaurs
6. sick in the mind
7. sick twisted thoughts
8. nobody cares
9. only one way
10. to bridge the tide
11. of great despair
12. and homicide
13. now you must laugh
14. now you must laugh
15. now you must laugh
16. now you must

Lyrics: |-
I don't like the look of people
they seem so strange to me
so many drifting limbs and
so much harmony
they make me feel so nervous
and I know I should leave
to run away forever
ah
a place to hide away now
that's just the thing I need
to lock away the key to
endless fleeting dreams
I don't need to look around
if I can close my eyes
and turn my skin deaf and
blind to its disguise
but thank god the mirror is still fogged up today
fogged up today
yeah thank god the mirror is still fogged up today
fogged up today
but I'm still me

Lyrics: |-
so you think you're all alone
on this journey towards forever and a half
so you think you're all washed up
with nothing to do for any evermore
well I've got the answer for you
it's all up in here
well I've got the answer for you
when dinosaurs break down your door
IT'S JUST A DAILY ROUTINE
CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN
IT'S JUST A DAILY ROUTINE
CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN

Lyrics: |-
close the door behind you when you leave
I can worry about myself
pulling up the covers to see
look at all this endless boundless wealth
I can see someone in the bed
I can see me but it's not me
there's a sack of meat right there
moving its arms all around
CUZ I'M NOT REAL
I'M NOT REAL
OH NO
OH NO
it's not like anything's wrong (there's something wrong)
it's not like anything's wrong (there's something wrong)
the wind still blows (the wind blows)
that's how I know (there's something wrong)
it's not like anything's wrong (there's something wrong)
it's not like anything's wrong (there's something wrong)
it's not like anything's wrong (there's something wrong)
I swear there's nothing wrong (you're lying)
ooooh
and I think I want to die alone
and I think I want to die alone
and I think I want to die alone, alone
and I think I want to die alone

Lyrics: |-
I've got a question for you
do you really believe
we'll ever get through
I share the same mind
with someone who's lost
their own sense of time
I'm so sick of this line (lie?)
that it'll all be fine
if you just stick with me
but I don't wanna lay down
still wanna stick around
and see what's there
I'm gonna get out of bed
just need 5 minutes more
to rest
feels like I'm sleeping more in the afternoon these days
I'm not really sure that's a good thing
haven't got the motivation to commit the crime
ladies and gentlemen of the jury are quite confused
and everyone is crying and laughing
and everyone is holding ha-
and everyone is all together
in the darkest times of their li-i-i-i
and the t rex keeps laughing
and the t rex keeps laughing
and the t rex keeps laughing
and the t rex keeps laughing
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE TYRANNY IS FINALLY GOING TO SOAR
SOAR TYRANNY, WRECK THEIR LIVES!
ooooooooh
(and now I understand, true love is death)
LET THE METEORS COME DOWN [repeated]
come down from there
you'll see it's not so bad
you've got friends and the like who all love you a lot
and if you don't I'm sure there's some hanging around
caught in between but nothing's as it seems
it's okay, you're alright
you're alright
goodbye dinosaur my poor-weather friend
there's no doubt in my heart that I'll see you again
farewell pterosaur
goodbye stegosaurus
t-rex, it's been nice
but it's time for you to leave
(for the book must close)
(as we shutter the blinds)
(for everything must end)
(with the passing of time)
