Our one bona fide love song, but less traditional than most. This one's about travelling back in time to inhabit the bodies of prehistoric beasts in order to find love.
lyrics
Won't you come with me to the Cretaceous
When the world was warm and spacious
A few big islands in the ocean
Plate tectonics set in motion
Everywhere across the land, gigantic animals will stand
and walk and run and feed and fight
Let's choose which ones we'll be tonight
I will be your stegosaurus, if you'll be my allosaurus
Every mammal will abhor us
Cower in fear and flee before us
You are a carnivore, I am a herbivore
But we won't obey nature's laws
we're in love as dinosaurs
Now the world is swiftly changing
volcanoes, earthquakes rearranging
the land as ash is raining down
magma crawls across the ground
pyroclastic cloud draws near
see the dinos run in fear
they're trapped by lava; hear our roars
we'd better quickly change our dinosaurs
I'll be your ankylosaurus if you'll be my tyrannosaurus
with my plate armour and your jaws
I think this world's perfect for us
You are a carnivore; I am a herbivore
but we'll be safe in each other's claws
We're in love as dinosaurs
But wait! What's that light in the sky?
Oh love I think we're gonna die when that asteroid hits land
There's no way back from the brink
We're about to be made extinct
Oh honey try to understand
Hold you close and calm your fear
wipe away those dino tears
put your tiny t-rex arms around me
We will both be fossilised
Our last embrace immortalised
We'll be together forever you'll see
Because palaeontologists will restore us
Museum goers all adore us
pointing at tyrannosaurus
Hugging an ankylosaurus
We'll never be alone
Our love is set in stone
We'll never truly die because we stayed in love as dinosaurs
In love as dinosaurs
In love as dinosaurs
In love as dinosaurs
