Originally recorded by Lau as nearer:breath. Backing vocals added by Afshin Cohen.

lyrics

She's up there flying over dinosaurs
Nature tells her exactly what here wings are for
Not much can reach her, some look up to see her
Maybe a Spinosaurus will eat her

But she wakes up with the sun
Jumps from a cliff and opens up her arms
And high above
She sees them running, chasing, feeding, and loving
And everything might be gone... tomorrow

She was flying over 200 million years ago
Her vision was acute and she had claws on her toes
The ocean so vast, watching for fish
Keepin and eye out for the Suchomimus

And she goes... ::pterodactyl screeeech::
And she goes... ::pterodactyl screeeech::
And she goes on...
Soon, she might be gone...

She'd never suspect that she wouldn't last
Still happy as long as she could see the sunrise through the ash
And maybe she'll be okay
Maybe she won't have to change
Maybe she'll still get eaten

She wakes up with the sun
As it grows darker as the air grows colder
And far, far above
She sees them slowing, starving, scared and dying
And everything might be gone
Yeah everything might be gone tomorrow

And she goes on...
And she goes on
