Dinosaur Park Songtext
von Owl City

Welcome to South Dakota here in early July
Tucked away in the Black Hills on an especially starry night
A concrete-green Brontosaurus has a subtle glint in her eye
′Cause under the moonlight when the moment is right
Under the moonlight, things come alive

In Dinosaur Park, long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one's around does some kind of magic fill the air?
I won′t ever prove statues can move but I'd like to think they do
So I make-believe with all of my heart
(Ohh, ohh)
There's magic afoot, unseen in the dark
In Dinosaur Park

Boy, I love Rapid City and that hilltop of beasts
When I gaze up at that T-Rex it′s like he′s starin' back at me
Yeah, those old dinosaur sculptures fill my heart with awe and intrigue
′Cause under the moonlight
When the moment is right
Under the moonlight, things come alive


In Dinosaur Park, long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one's around, does some kind of magic fill the air?
I won′t ever prove statues can move but I'd like to think they do
So I make-believe with all of my heart
(Ohh, ohh)
There′s magic afoot, unseen in the dark
In Dinosaur Park

'Cause when the moon's sittin′ pretty above Rapid City
There′s much more than meets the eye
And I can only imagine what strange things could happen when nobody's on Skyline Drive
And when I leave Minnesota to see South Dakota I got a lot of things on my mind
′Cause I can only imagine what strange things could happen up on top of that hill at night

What do dinosaurs talk about when they're alone, heh
Before the sun comes up and they turn back to stone?
Do they look down on the city lights even though they don′t bat an eye?
And then at night, when the moon is bright, do they come alive?
I have a sneaking suspicion inside

'Cause in Dinosaur Park, long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one′s around, does some kind of magic fill the air?
I won't ever prove statues can move but I'd like to think they do
I don′t know how and I don′t know why
(Ohh, ohh)
But I get the feelin' deep down inside
(Ohh, ohh)
There′s magic afoot in the middle of the night


'Cause when the moon′s sittin' pretty above Rapid City
There′s much more than meets the eye
And I can only imagine what strange things could happen when nobody's on Skyline Drive
And when I leave Minnesota to see South Dakota I got a lot of things on my mind
'Cause I can only imagine what strange things could happen up on top of that hill at night
