Outlive The Dinosaur

I breathe
My throat clenches
Clutching to exclude
A dozen different stenchesIn Falmouth Bay
A blue whale rolls
Gonna drown in the swill
From city sewer holesSummer's longer
Deltas gashed
Ancient trees
Uprooted, smashedTime is generous, more, take more
Time is generous, more, take more
Time is generous, more, take more
I must outrun the dinosaurAs to your question about how this will affect your career
The great artist is just like a child
And intuitively understands the need to submit to the audience
Do you begin to see the secret?A silent temple
Marble-hard
Decays and softens
Battle-scarredA relic deaf
To bits and streams
And polo-necks
And perfect jeansObsessed with silence
Spiked by noise
I hold my son
I plan his toysTime expansive, more, take more
Time expansive, more, take more
Time expansive, more, take more
I must outlive the dinosaurLastly, you must be prepared to test yourself
Why not try the song I have enclosed?
It's an outtake from a secret project I'm working on called
"Gridlife"
The tape you sent shows you can sing, so singRising rivers
Drown new shoots
Words and breath
In death cahootsThe strong survive
To wean more brutes
Who grow and seed
Extend their rootsCowards, bombs
And scab recruits
Like monkeys trapped
In monkey suitsTime is plentiful, more, take more
Time is plentiful, more, take more
Time is plentiful, more, take more
I must outfight the dinosaurTime is plentiful, more, take more
(Take some more)
Time is plentiful, more, take more
(There's plenty more)
Time is plentiful, more, take more
(Just take some more)
Time is plentiful, more, take moreTime is plentiful, more, take more
(Ah, take)
Time is plentiful, more, take more
(Take some more)
Time is plentiful, more, take more
More take more, more take moreTake more
Take more
