Tyrannosaurus

Hide tags

in a clearing stood a sad and skinny tree
whispered something i was no supposed to see
sir i've done no wrong
answered i above his silly song

oh tyrannosaurus you're too much for me
bubbling baby water posed as storming sea
well now can you tell
how that lonely oak felt when he fell

well well well my simple young friend
we're both too old to pretend
but better that i walk away than
shove the stupid things you say back
down your throat

half as forward half as backward twice as dumb
you're the mice beneath my feet in search of crumbs
fuck your tough-boy pose
promised by the pricking of your nose

well well well my simple young friend
we're both too old to pretend
but better that i walk away then
say the stupid things i say since
i've grown cold

breathe deep breathe deep breathe deep breathe deep
my lungs are filled with air and now i'm still enough to sleep
but still i'm really wide awake so to avoid a state of shock
i'm going to count to 97 and take a trip around the block

grab the uncontrollable and control it if i can because the
thing that's crawled inside of me is a ghost of the real man
opening a door i truly wish was bolted shut
but when the words come out of you they make the most unkindest cuts

oh tyrannosaurus you're too much for me
bubbling baby water posed as storming sea
well now can't you see
love was once the biggest part of me

a well well well well well my simple young friend
you know we're both too old to pretend
but better that i walk away than
shove the stupid things you say back
down your throat

a well well well well well my simple young friend
you know you know we're both too old to pretend
but better that i walk away then
say the stupid things i say since i've grown cold
