When I wake up on the wrong side of the planet
And the creamer for my coffee has gone bad
And the people on the streets should really can it
Cause I don't think they would like me when I'm mad
Down at the bottom, I have a secret trick
I have a thing to bring me up when I am low
It's simple and it's easy and it's real quick
And it went extinct two hundred million years ago
Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
It's a thought that I can count on
When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
To shake off all the problems I've piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon
I am walking in a mall or in an airport
And I'm filling up with loneliness and fear
Like I'm not really a member of this species
And I don't think I am special, I'm just weird
When I am feeling this, one thing will make me smile
There are other folks who never quite fit in
They're kinda mammals but they look like reptiles
But I bet that difference never bothered them
Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
It's a thought that I can count on
When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
To shake off all the problems I have piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon
Be yourself
Count on your inner strength
Find your people
Hunt the weak
Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
It's a thought that I can count on
When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
To shake off all the problems I have piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon
Dimetrodon, Dimetrodon
