Archaeopteryx

Saw him in a book of fossils

Dancing with some old Apostles

I think if I went back in time

He′d be there alive

Root of all my jealousy

Grounded in my devastation

I can't get no aviation

Up in the sky, his grandchildren fly

I don′t sing, I sigh

Tell the archaeopteryx

That I never wanted this

Featherhead metropolis

Liar, liar, wings on fire!

When it's fast approaching winter

And I eat my turkey dinner

Tickles of hate, they rattle my cage

And evolve to rage

This is when I make a choice

I will build a time contraption

I will start a chain reaction

Know what I think I'm going to do?

I am going to

Tell the archaeopteryx

That I never wanted this

Featherhead metropolis

Liar, liar, wings on fire!

Now the clock ticks

And I hope this will fix

All the present bird tricks

Farewell, Mr. Archaeopteryx

Tell the archaeopteryx

That I never wanted this

Featherhead metropolis

Liar, liar, wings on fire!
