A long time ago
67 million years or so
On an island called Laramidia
Lived a predator
Ruler of the dinosaurs
A 40-foot-long carnivore
The apex of reptilia
Fighting over territory
Rivals were competing for
A mate they could impress
When she was feeling in the mood
And pheromones had been exuded
Guess what happened next
Tyrannosaurus sex
Flirtatious, vivacious
With curves in all the right places
She had legs for days
This piece of tail from the Late Cretaceous
Now they were down to get freaky
Start propagating the species
His arms didn’t have much reach
So he grabbed her tight with his giant teeth
Fighting over territory
Rivals were competing for
A mate they could impress
When she was feeling in the mood
And pheromones had been exuded
Guess what happened next
Tyrannosaurus sex

Herbivore

Crushing underfoot
Clear a path or flee
Do not turn to look
Hundred tons of me
Tear apart the trees
Rip the underbrush
I seek devil weed
Prehistoric kush
Don’t know why I need it so bad
Don’t know why it makes me so mad
Eating my weight in small green stars
A thousand pounds is a good start
Head in the clouds, can’t feel my feet
I don’t know why, all I have to do is eat
And I won’t stop ‘til I’m full
Twenty miles a day
Terror in my wake
Get out of my way
‘Cause flowers do nothing
Ferns are just a bore
Grass sticks in my teeth
Need a little more
Don’t know why I need it so bad
Don’t know why it makes me so mad
All of my weight in small green stars
A thousand pounds is a good start
Head in the clouds, can’t feel my feet
I don’t know why, all I have to do is eat
Don’t know why I need it so bad
Don’t know why it makes me so mad
Eating my weight in small green stars
A thousand pounds is a good start
Head in the clouds, can’t feel my feet
I don’t know why, all I have to do is eat
All of my weight in small green stars
A thousand pounds is a good start
Head in the clouds, can’t feel my feet
I don’t know why, all I have to do is eat weed

Dino War
03:47
|
|||
|
The 1870s
A time of growth and industry
Paleontology would never be the same
Two men left a legacy
In thirty years of rivalry
136 new species to their names
Self-taught and full of hope
The first man’s name was Edward Cope
Led by a code of honor he could not avoid
Others held in high regard
The Yale scholar O.C. Marsh
Who saw his counterpart as someone to exploit
Full steam ahead
They set out on their quest
The key to the past
Buried deep in the wild west
Some say the feud began
With Marsh’s underhanded plan
To bribe the quarries and acquire what they found
Fights began to escalate
As competition turned to hate
The field of science had become a battleground
From work with hired spies
To breaking bones and spreading lies
They couldn’t stop ‘til every dollar had been spent
All of Cope’s discoveries
His nemesis had tried to seize
With his connections in the U.S. Government
Full steam ahead
They set out on their quest
The key to the past
Buried deep in the wild west
Broke and vilified
They ruined their lives
While trying to settle the score
It’s the tale of the Dino War
Poetic justice robbed Marsh of his win
All of his work, repossessed by the Smithsonian
Broke and vilified
They ruined their lives
While trying to settle the score
It’s the tale of the Dino War

Mammal Uprising
02:25
|

|
Small and furry, they run around under your feet
Small and fat, they run around and are good to eat
Stomp them flat, then pick them up right off the ground
But be careful, their brains are bigger than ours
The mammal uprising
The mammal uprising
Small and tasty, they make the perfect midnight snack
But they make up with brains for the size that they lack
Dinosaurs be careful ‘cause their brains are large
It might not be very long until they are in charge
The mammal uprising
The mammal uprising
The mammal uprising
The mammal uprising
I’m a hungry dinosaur
Om nom nom nom nom

Tar Pit
02:37
|

|
When the day has begun
Glowing spires
In the light of the sun
Skies of fire
Hear the sounds
Feel the crowd
We’re on the ground
With our heads in the clouds
Something calling us here
Like a siren
A mirage appears
On the horizon
See the sights
Feel the crowd
We try to fight it
But we’re never getting out
We’re living in a tar pit
Watch your step, it’ll pull you in
We’re living in a tar pit
Don’t give up, cause it’s sink or swim
We’re living in a tar pit
Shining black over ancient bones
And this love-hate relationship
Is all we have ever known
When the basin is filled
With the darkness
Lights will burn ‘til
The heavens are starless
Face your fears
Take the leap
We’re all right here
To pull you from the deep
We’re discovering
Wonders uncharted
But it’s not a life for
The faint-hearted
One by one
Take the leap
The shadow’s rising up
To prey upon the weak
We’re living in a tar pit
Watch your step, it’ll pull you in
We’re living in a tar pit
Don’t give up, cause it’s sink or swim
We’re living in a tar pit
Shining black over ancient bones
And this love-hate relationship
Is all we have ever known
Oh, we’re living in a tar pit
Watch your step, it’ll pull you in
We’re living in a tar pit
Don’t give up, cause it’s sink or swim
We’re living in a tar pit
Shining black over ancient bones
But that’s Los Angeles
The dense and toxic abyss that we call home

Museum
02:53
|

Look out at humanity
In these hallowed halls, ever-wandering
Behind these doors
There lies a world they fail to see
Primeval haunted museum
Nightfall grants our spirits their freedom
Everyone, join in the fun
‘Til morning comes
It might sound impossible
That our souls are bound to these old fossils
No more hearts beating
And our brains are out of their skulls
Primeval haunted museum
Nightfall grants our spirits their freedom
Dead or alive, we don’t care why
It’s party time
Every era
Ancient flora and fauna
Return from the beyond
It’s so bitchin’
Raptor ghosts in the kitchen
And phantom mastodons
Come together
We’re all stuck here forever
So let’s just get along
No more food chain
No more anger and pain
So relax and party on

Prison of Stone
03:37
|
|||
|
I’m the remnant of an ancient creature
Buried deep inside a prison of stone
Time is merciless, but I’m its keeper
Everlasting and alone
Mesozoic, prehistoric
If I weren’t trapped down here
I’d rampage and crush your cities
Filling your weak hearts with fear
Countless centuries have passed above me
In an endless cycle of death and rebirth
Human history has little meaning
In the lifespan of the Earth
Mesozoic, prehistoric
If I weren’t trapped down here
I’d rampage and crush your cities
Filling your weak hearts with fear
Whoa Mesozoic, prehistoric
If I weren’t stuck in this place
I’d wake up to eat and then
End your whole damned human race

Underwater Frenzy
03:43
|
|||
|
Ichthyosaurs come together
Let us feast mightily
On the flesh of the ones
Who fell into the ocean
Deep dark red fills us with lusty greed
We will eat more than we ever truly need
Hey, come to the bloodbath that
We call the underwater frenzy
And we will show you that
Friendship and happiness
Brings us close together
When we rip fresh meat to shreds
Partaking in the bloodbath
Prey is fighting, screaming
Tearing flesh limb from limb
With hearts still beating softly
We will not stop ‘til we’ve had our fill
More helpless prey will we devour still
Hey, come to the bloodbath that
We call the underwater frenzy
And we will show you that
Friendship and happiness
Brings us close together
When we rip fresh meat to shreds
Come to the bloodbath
That we call the underwater frenzy
And we will show you that
Magic and mystery
Live on if you just jump in
Come join our feeding frenzy

Wrath of the Sun
03:23
|
|||
|
Skies fill with dust
Barren surfaces crushed
As the grass and the brush decay
The earth has reclaimed the water of life
From our domain
Rebirth we’ll attain through struggle and strife
So we must cross the plains
Fly from the wrath of the sun
Or die, reaching out to the great horizon
Know nothing changes when blood is shed
For the bones of the weak pave the road ahead
Mountains march onward
And worlds are conquered
As night is devoured by day
A massive migration to higher ground
Where we must feed
Through passing starvation, calls will resound
No force can stop the last stampede
Fly from the wrath of the sun
Or die, reaching out to the great horizon
Know nothing changes when blood is shed
For the bones of the weak pave the road ahead

Since the beginning, we’ve all been askin’
Exactly what controls human attraction
We change our bodies, and dress up flashy
But all our pickup lines are sounding trashy
Women are wanting to find a lover
Who still has something special to uncover
And so we try to make a connection
Hoping to be her natural selection
The world’s becoming more sapiosexual
So listen up and you might get a clever girl
Chicks dig paleontologists
They’re so thirsty for knowledge of
Ammonite, triceratops, and parasaurolophus, yeah
Chicks dig paleontologists
‘Cause they know how to find the
Dilophosaurus, smilodon, and brachiosaurus, oh yeah
This is a revolution
Of cultural evolution
Love is led by more that just our hormones
Insight into the past
Is better than a hot piece of ass
If you can show her a brilliant mind
Then she’ll want to jump your bones
They like ‘em brainy, they like ‘em dirty
A guy who’s not afraid of looking nerdy
No need for fashion, forget the diamonds
All that they really want are men of science
There’s so much wonder in her flirtation
About the process of fossilization
Her deepest passions will be revealed
She’ll want you in the lab and in the field
The world’s becoming more sapiosexual
So listen up and you might get a clever girl
Chicks dig paleontologists
They're so thirsty for knowledge of
Ammonite, triceratops, and parasaurolophus, yeah
Oh, chicks dig paleontologists
'Cause they know how to find the
Dilophosaurus, smilodon, and brachiosaurus, oh yeah
This is a revolution
Of cultural evolution
Love is led by more that just our hormones
Insight into the past
Is better than a hot piece of ass
If you can show her a brilliant mind
Then she’ll want to jump your bones
Chicks dig paleontologists

The songs are fantastic and fun - it's so easy for me to listen to this album on repeat. And the album cover is so great. The pun on the title just makes me chuckle every time I look at it. I really wish I could buy a physical copy of your other albums as well!

Exceptional Goblins

This whole album is solid VGM gold from start to finish, but the Mario Land track is especially fun and the Chrono Trigger track gives me chills every time. Worth the price for just those alone.

This album is just too good for its own good. This is what happens when 5 amazing musicians come together and magic is made. We're all extremely lucky to have this entire album, but From the Earth to the Moon is bloody brilliant in particular. B-)
