Archaeopteryx is the eleventh track in Lemon Demon's fifth album, Dinosaurchestra. The song is about a man who grows so jealous of birds and their ability to fly that he goes back in time to kill the Archaeopteryx.
Lyrics[]
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.
