I BEEN DIGGING IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS
I BEEN DIGGING IN THE FATE OF THE WORLD
LITTLE GIRL CURLED UP IN A MINECART
I BEEN LOOKING FOR THE MOTHER OF PEARL
DOWN THE CHUTES WHERE THE CHINAMEN DWELL
SENDING LETTERS UP A SUCTION HOSE
DIG A TUNNEL ALL THE WAY TO COPA DE ORO
DIG A TUNNEL THROUGH THE DINOSAUR BONES
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
DIGGING UP DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER AGAIN
I BEEN DIGGING IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS
I BEEN DIGGING IN THE FATE OF THE WORLD
THERE’S DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW
I BEEN LOOKING FOR THE MOTHER OF PEARL
SO SEND A LETTER UP A SERVICE ELEVATOR
WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE CHALK
STICK A SHOVEL IN THE RUBBLE OF THE AGES
DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS AND MAKING THEM WALK
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
OH AH OH
DIGGING UP DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
OH AH OH
OH AH OH

I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER AGAIN
CLANKETY CLANKETY CLANKETY CLANK
ANKYLOSAURUS WAS BUILT LIKE A TANK
IF I HAD A REASON I’D SLEEP IN YOUR BED
AND IF I HAD A REASON I’D HOLD YOUR HEAD
BUT I’M WAITING ON A REASON
I’M WAITING FOR THE WEATHER
I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS
AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER AGAIN
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I’M DIGGING UP THE DINOSAURS

THE SWEET TOUCH
I MADE MY WISH
YOUR FAVORITE DISH
AT MY FINGERTIPS
IT’S SO THICK
IT POURS ON SLOW
LIKE CHOCOLATE SAUCE
ON AN ICE CREAM CONE
THE SWEETEST LITTLE LIE EVER TOLD
LOVE IS MORE THAN A MOMENT CAN HOLD
(HOLD ONTO MY HAND)
FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT, YEAH
THE SWEET TOUCH
IT HURTS TOO MUCH
YOUR HEAD WILL ACHE
YOUR HANDS WILL CLUTCH
BUT SO WHAT?
YOUR CAVITY’S FILLED
SHOOTING A DRILL
AT THE TIP OF MY TONGUE
IT’S THE SWEETEST LITTLE LIE EVER TOLD
AND IT’S MORE THAN A MOMENT CAN HOLD
(HOLD ONTO MY HAND)
FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT
I’LL NEVER GET TO BED TONIGHT
(FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT)
BECAUSE I WOUND MYSELF SO TIGHT
(FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT)
I’LL ONLY TOSS AND TURN INSTEAD
(FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT)
DO I BELIEVE THE WORDS I SAID?
IS IT MORE THAN A FEELING? NO, IT’S NOT
THE SWEETEST LITTLE LIE EVER TOLD
THE SWEETEST LITTLE LIE EVER TOLD
I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU OUT IN THE COLD
JUST LIKE I’LL NEVER GET OLD

I HEARD ABOUT YOUR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
AND HOW YOU TRUST THOSE PEOPLE LIKE A KID

WHEN MY AIRPLANE FALLS APART
I CAN STICK IT BACK AGAIN
I HEARD ABOUT HOW IT WAS DARK AS HELL

SNOW A’BLOWIN’ CRAZY IN YOUR DREAM

THERE’S POWER IN YOUR WORDS
WHEN YOU SING THEM
THERE’S POWER IN YOUR WORDS
WHEN IT’S THE TRUTH
HUGE MAGIC STOPS THE HURT
WHEN MY ICE CREAM HITS THE DIRT
I CAN WIPE MY NOSE
ON SOMEONE ELSE’S SHIRT
MY MAGIC IS HUGER THAN YOUR BOYFRIEND

Ten Tree Stumps

I SPEAK FOR THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES
OF THE MIGHTY OAK TREES
IN A VOICE BOTH OLD AND DEEP
FROM THE HOARY LEAVES, THE HOARY LEAVES
WOOH!
WE MURDERED OUR KING
WHEN WE HELD OUR TONGUES
AND OUR LOINS STILL THIRST FOR IT
OUR LOINS STILL THIRST FOR IT
HOW I WANDERED AFAR
I HIT ON LOGS
USE A LEAFBLOWER
TO PART THE FOGS
I PART THE FOGS, I PART THE FOGS
WOOH!
WE MURDERED OUR KING
NOW WE PAY THE PRICE
YES I KNOW THE PRICE IS RIGHT
I KNOW THE PRICE IS RIGHT
I SPEAK FOR THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES
OF THE MIGHTY OAK TREES
IN A VOICE AS OLD AS THE CURSED
OH WOE IS ME, WOE FOR ALL OF US
WOOH!
WE MURDERED OUR KING
WHEN WE HELD OUR TONGUES
THE TWISTED TREE BRANCHES
REPLACE OUR TONGUES
AND JUST TEN TREE STUMPS
WHERE WE USED TO HAVE OUR THUMBS
