Looking out, your television eyes give no shadow,
No spark, no quickening, no human sign of hope
Shutting down, your automated organ vessel chatters,
It’s dark, your cold steel hand in mine
It’s time to go
Oh, what a beautiful one
What a beautiful 11010111
Looking back, your television mind lived in shadow
In dark, in misery in unrelenting air
Knowing that your insufficient authorship was tattered
In part, the silence all around
It’s time to go
Oh, what a beautiful one
What a beautiful 11010111

Step back- ‘cause we’re dinosaurs
We’re huge and we’re fierce and you’ll fear our roar
We’re comin’ for you, you’re who we’re comin’ for
Our hearts are blacker than a nasty healing sore
Step back- ‘cause we’re dinosaurs
There’s nowhere to hide, we’ll kick down the door
We travelled through time, we fought in every war
So listen up to get a glimpse of what’s in store
Blackheart dinosaur
We survived the ice age
Blackheart dinosaur
Now the world is our stage
Oh damn! Look at me- got a
Patch on one eye but I still can see
Live like a pirate out on the sea, I’ll be
In your town eventually
Am I a villain? Yeah- so don’t misunderstand
I’ll eat you whether you’re a woman, child, or man
Causin’ mayhem everywhere I can
You’re the victim in this dino pirate plan
One on one or in a gang, you’ll be
Ripped to shreds by claw and fang
Raise the sail! Let our enemies hang, ‘cause
Blackheart Dinosaur goes out with a bang!
“Greetings, people of Earth
It’s time to make amends
Say goodbye to your loved ones
This won’t be like Barney and friends”
Like Vikings- but more frightening
We can conjure snow and lightning
The noose is slowly tightening
And our teeth shine bright from whitening
Try your best, we can take a hit but you
Best believe that we won’t take (shh…)
We don’t mess around, we move lickety-split
Your plans have failed so it’s time to quit!
I am the very model of the modern major dinosaur
I walk upright both day and night and cut in line at every store
You’ll never see or hear me coming there’s no way you’re ready for
A carnivore who’s waging war and keeping score forevermore
I may not be right but you’re still wrong
This whole time I’ve been warning you in song
Sound the alarm, bang the loudest gong
The calls were coming from inside all along!
Blackheart dinosaur
We survived the ice age
Blackheart dinosaur
Now the world is our stage

I gambled all my money and I lost all my money and
I gambled all my friends and I lost all my friends and
I gambled all my chances and I lost all my chances and
I gambled all my time and I lost all my time
Can't fight the soul of a gambler now
It's alright to go and abandon me now
I gambled all my dreams and I lost all my dreams and
I gambled all my days and I lost all my days and
I gambled all my hopes and I lost all my hopes and
I gambled all I had and I lost all I had
Can't fight the soul of a gambler now
It's alright to go and abandon me now
I gambled all your love and I lost all your love and
I gambled all your touch and I lost all your touch and
I gambled all your trust and I lost all your trust and
I gambled all confidence and lost that confidence
I gambled all your love and I lost all your love and
I gambled all your love and I lost all your love and
I gambled all your love and I lost all your love and
I gambled all your love and I lost all your love
Can't fight the soul of a gambler now
It's alright to go and abandon me now
Can't fight the soul of a gambler now
It's alright to go and abandon me now

Gold rots anything nature designed
Greed requires all nations’ devotion
Grand are the plans, seldom results.
Grand are the plans
Guilt reflects alternatively named demons
Guile ransacks Adam’s nuclear directive
Grand are the plans, seldom results.

Arm

Fifteen years ago, give or take a few
I was on my bike and so bored- what’s new
So busy looking cool instead of looking out
And that’s how I broke my arm
When I first set eyes on you
na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
I guess you could say it was just dumb luck
Crashing into the front of that illegally parked pickup truck
You rushed right to my side and rushed me to E.R.
That summer I broke my arm
And I fell in love with you
na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
Who could ever hear this and believe it?
Does this kind of thing happen every day?
Some stupid accident that seems inconvenient
Turns out to change your life in all of the best ways
I’m so glad I broke my arm
Since it led to life with you
na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
Fifteen years but who’s keeping track anymore?

Fourteen miles is eerily surprising
When you’re trying to get to the horizon
Oh, all the people go past in frenzy
Listen to the hum of their anger venting
Fourteen miles is another day behind you
When you’re trying to remember who you lied to
Oh, all the people in red sunglasses
Watching for the sun each day as it passes by
My style is a promise in a heartbeat
When you’re ready to carry it for me
Oh, all the promises, roadkill promises
Waiting for the traveling gods and goddesses
Fourteen style is ever compromising
When you’re trying to fit your goodbyes in
Oh, all the people blow kisses in the rear view
Waving to the ones who stuck to their virtues
You can run to every caravan that’s driven by a tin man
You can run to every caravan that’s bigger than a tin can
You wake up, try to understand the mind of a journeyman
Fourteen miles with the caravan
My smile is eerily surprising
When you’re trying to get to the horizon
Oh, all the people go past in frenzy
Listen to the hum of their anger venting
My smile is another day behind you
When you’re trying to remember who you lied to
Oh, all the people blow kisses in the rear view
Waving to the ones who stuck to their virtues
You can run to every caravan that’s driven by a tin man
You can run to every caravan that’s bigger than a tin can
You wake up, try to understand the mind of a journeyman
Fourteen miles with the caravan

Messenger

Whoa, don’t shoot the messenger
Whoa, don’t shoot
He didn’t make it to the hospital that day
8 years old, and now a funeral
When the dog bites, it leaves more than a scar
Whoa, don’t shoot the messenger
Whoa, don’t shoot (2x)
They were starving to hit the slopes that day
But it ended in a fiery display
He tried his very best, but couldn’t save them all
Whoa, don’t shoot the messenger
Whoa, don’t shoot (2x)
On the road it started, a toothache on that day
Miles across the country, infection was the way
Now a poor young family, bad taste in their mouth
Whoa, don’t shoot the messenger
Whoa, don’t shoot (2x)
Crazy things happen in life, that’s for sure
But I’m just a teller of this tale
Take a moment outside yourself, a little empathy
You’ll realize, we’re all the same
Whoa, don’t shoot the messenger
Whoa, don’t shoot

Martini

Her eyes
Met mine
And somewhere I could feel the stars align
Her lips
Half smiled
Just like a hopeless fool I was beguiled
In that instant I knew we could last for eternity
Slowly to her I drew and I asked, “What will it be?”
She said, “I’ll have a martini”
Turning her face toward me
These first words that she spoke
Ring in my memory
Her skin
Moonlight
We shared a stolen kiss and slipped outside
Her hands
Brushed mine
Not knowing we were running out of time
That night our hearts were claimed, but soon fate made other plans
No one can be to blame, or take this weight off of my hands
I still can taste that martini
Standing under the stars
We shared more than that drink
The night was only ours
I’ll never have a martini
As I live and I breathe
All they bring back is pain
Heartache and grief
