Petrified Lyrics by Brainiac

From Dayton Ohio

2021

[Verse 1]
Not so many thousand years before
These old rocks were the bones of the haplocanthosaur
[?] tall as a house
I might have been as gentle as a mouse

[Refrain]
Old rocks, bare bones
Old rocks, bare bones

[Verse 2]
The bones of a flying animal now called the pterosaur
Have been found a hundred miles from the shore

[Refrain]
Old rocks, bare bones
Old rocks, bare bones

[Bridge]
Bare bones are petrified and later they are classified
A skeleton may indicate but imagination animates
The mind's eye does need to see
The fluid grace and subtlety
Animals fitted perfectly to a world not like the one we see

Here's the sort of bird that we don't see
In some of the books it's not treated quite respectfully

[Refrain]
Old rocks, bare bones
Old rocks, bare bones

[Bridge]
Bare bones are petrified and later they are classified
A skeleton may indicate but imagination animates
The mind's eye does need to see
The fluid grace and subtlety
Animals fitted perfectly to a world not like the one we see
