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
