The Last Roar
The last roar Of the Dinosaur As he marches to extinction You say "what went wrong"? But to survive for so long Must be, a mark of distinction
For time had flown And the world he'd known The land and all the oceans Where once he would fit He now must admit He was only, 'going through the motions'
Just running to stand still 'Over the hill' He thinks he'll get there, but never will
Ready to 'give up the ghost' Sound the 'last post' Where are your friends, when you need them the most?
Put to the test He was losing interest But still going through, 'the usual channels' He had to curse When they got there first Damn, those upstart mammals!
For they had begun To suckle their young He prefers, to keep his distance But it's efficient And quite sufficient To threaten, his existence
Just running to stand still 'Over the hill' He thinks he'll get there, but never will
Ready to 'give up the ghost' Sound the 'last post' Where are your friends, when you need them the most?
