Disappeared Like Dinosaurs (Lyrics)

the stark contrast in hue of grey on white and blue the skyline now reflects dollars and our new common sense the ground on which we stand is shaped by mechanical hands the lights that line the streets are marked by mounds of receipts watercolors cover the sea a display of our manmade beauty a brand new face a mask on the world that we've erased and a great big fire took the town with their heads on down feathers they would drown they couldn't fly to flee the scene so they watched it on their television screens it rained lead and arrows on that day they'd danced and prayed to be saved from flamed but they couldn't sleep to say it was a dream so they watched it on their television screens
