Dinosaur Act

you were their daughter
and your father flew airplanes
you and your sister
could tell by the backs of their hands
it was a dinosaur act
dinosaur act

and after expenses and pulling up fences
no more airplanes --
and putting your foot down
the nail shot up like a bright red snowflake
just like a dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur

and all through the dust
you feel that you must
hear the strains of a dove
but it's a dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur
