Outlive The Dinosaur lyrics

I breathe My throat clenches Clutching to exclude A dozen different stenches In Falmouth Bay A blue whale rolls Gonna drown in the swill From city sewer holes Summers longer Deltas gashed Ancient trees Uprooted, smashed Time is generous-more, take more Time is generous-more, take more Time is generous-more, take more I must outrun the dinosaur A silent temple Marble-hard Decays and softens Battle-scarred A relic deaf To bits and streams And polo-necks And perfect jeans Obsessed with silence Spiked by noise I hold my son I plan his toys Time expansive-more, take more Time expansive-more, take more Time expansive-more, take more I must outlive the dinosaur Rising rivers Drown new shoots Words and breath In death cahoots The strong survive To wean more brutes Who grow and seed Extend their roots Cowards, bombs And scab recruits Like monkeys trapped In monkey suits Time is plentiful-more, take more Time is plentiful-more, take more Time is plentiful-more, take more I must outfight the dinosaur
