Fossil Fever by The Duras Sisters Lyrics

I’ve got the fossil fever, I’m a true believer
I’m a hard-core paleo fan!
If dust and grime were considered to be time
I’d have a lot of it on my hands

I see those tracks and traces like familiar faces
I love each one I find
Shells and bones making poetry in stones--
Well, it’s enough to blow my mind!

Life, where have you been so long?
I wanna be where your gone. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Why are you still going strong?
Time keeps moving on. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Don’t want books, just keep looking at fossils
Don’t want fame, just my name on a fossil
Don’t want pay, just a day with a fossil
Don’t want food, just stay glued to a fossil

I hear that song of ages written on the pages
That will never be complete
Yeah, everybody’s trying...living and a-dying
To that same primeval beat
That fossil record’s playing, and my mind keeps swaying
To the rocky rhythm and rhyme
My fingers are a-snappin’ and my toes keep tappin’
To that geologic beat

Life, what have your creatures made?
I wanna see what you know. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Why haven’t your features stayed?
Time keeps moving on. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Don’t want drink, just keep thinking of fossils
Don’t want friends, just both ends of a fossil
Don’t want love, I just covet a fossil
Don’t want much, just want touching a fossil
