My Uncle Works in a Dinosaur Factory - Dan Bull

Dr Wu

Calling Dr Wu

Dr Wu

Calling Dr Wu

Calling Dr Wu

I am

Dropping a rhyme

On a tropical island

With topical timing

It’s not as if I live

The opulent life

Full of watches and diamonds

I’ve got to keep trying

I’ve got to keep writing

'Cause each of my lines

Is a genetic code

To open my life up

And lighten the load

One drop of amber

Is like a little globe

To provide the real globe

With the life that has flowed

Through its veins

Its arteries

Change has arrived

And it came to party

Rave through the night

To the dawn of a day

Another day

Another dollar

That I can’t wait to spend

Make way for tomorrow

Today

If only

Could have

Would have

Should have

Too late

It goes to show you

What another you may have done

Pray to the sun

Looking down the barrel of a gun

Look into an eye that’s opening

For the first time

You’re both seeing

A different side of the coin

Flip it now

Heads or tails

Win of fail

It’s a boy

It’s a girl

It’s a lizard

It’s a mammal

It’s a bird

Against the world

A beast of burden

Clutching pearls like you

Just like you

If you can take a life

And make it yours

The life can turn around

And take yours

No accord to break

Of course you couldn’t shake

A set of razor claws

No no no

Nature doesn’t give

And doesn’t take

It merely says

«It's in my nature»

I hate to burst your bubble

But you’re made up of the same stuff

That can make or break you

Ever closer to the sun we flew

Until we landed on the moon

That’s one small step for man

One giant footprint in the sand

Doctor Wu

Calling doctor Wu

Time’s almost run out

And torn the clock in two

Division among the divisions is hell

Divisions of cells

Divisions of self

The vision itself

Is sufficient to sell

The decision to salvage

A living thing out

Of the DNA found

At the dig site

And it’s exciting to give life

Because

Doctor Wu

We’re reseeding

The garden of Eden

With logic and reason

Now it’s God that is grieving

And feeling the wrath of a heathen

Do we need to stop the bereavement?

Previously we were heeding his creed

But it’s recently been

Pretty hard to believe him

In God years

Sixty five million

Is just an awkward moment

But when you’re caught up

In the jaws of dinosaurs

I don’t think it’s time

To talk atonement

Today

If only

Could have

Would have

Should have

Too late

It goes to show you

What another you may have done

Pray to the sun

Looking down the barrel of a gun

Look into an eye that’s opening

For the first time

You’re both seeing

A different side of the coin

Flip it now

Heads or tails

Win of fail

It’s a boy

It’s a girl

It’s a lizard

It’s a mammal

It’s a bird

Against the world

A beast of burden

Clutching pearls like you

Just like you

Doctor Wu

Calling doctor Wu

There’s not a lot of time to lose

With all we’ve got to do

For the opportunity

Forwarding science

And forming alliances

More than divine

It’s awesome to find

New forms of life

Four or five more new species

Hybrid dinosaurs

Each alive

Inspiring awe

If you can take a life

And make it yours

The life can turn around

And take yours

No accord to break

Of course you couldn’t shake

A set of razor claws

No no no

Nature doesn’t give

And doesn’t take

It merely says

«It's in my nature»

I hate to burst your bubble

But you’re made up of the same stuff

That can make or break you
