T. Rex sings the blues 'cause it's hard to be old and stuck underground.

lyrics

SONG 3: The Dinosaur's Lament
It's very quiet when you can't make a sound.
It's very still when you're -- stuck underground.
Can't cough or sneeze -- Oh Barnum please -
please find me now.

I might seem weak -- I might look tame.
But anyone who knows us -- knows we once were ferocious.
Now I'm in pieces, -- I can't make a stand.
Unless you lend me a hand.

[BREAK]
Nothing can change my situation
I'm here for eternity.
But now I'm breathless with anticipation
that someone would believe in me!

Oh yes I'm old. -- I'm not very with it.
But these bones 'll -- make a very fine exhibit.
Oh Barnum please -- please find me now.
I'm crushed underground.

[INSTRUMENTAL SECTION]

[BREAK]
Nothing can change my situation
I'm here for eternity.
But now I'm breathless with anticipation
that someone would believe in me!

Oh yes I'm old. -- I'm not very with it.
But these bones 'll -- make a very fine exhibit.
Oh Barnum please - -- please find me now.
I'm crushed underground.
I promise to astound!
Oh - please find me now!
