Fuck Yeah, Dinosaurs! - Raptors on Acid/Tar Pit

Que los Fuck Yeah, Dinosaurs! son una de nuestras debilidades ya lo sabíais (les hemos visto por aquí y por aquí), así que no es necesario buscar excusas para traer de nuevo al blog a esta banda de punk-rock procedente de Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, Estados Unidos). Formada por Phil (batería), Chris (bajo), Jon (guitarra) y Zach (voz) y con dos discos publicados, "Jurassic Drunks" (2018) y "65 Million Beers Ago" (2020), ahora van a reeditar éstos en formato cassette (visita su tienda para estar al tanto):

Si todavía no los conoces, escucha a continuación "Raptors on Acid" y "Tar Pit", de su primer álbum. En la primera de estas canciones, un terópodo tiene un "mal viaje" en pleno mesozoico, lo que le lleva a ver extrañas alucinaciones, mientras que en el segundo tema, se aborda el drama de una familia que va desapareciendo en un tar pit o pozo de alquitrán:

La letra de ambos temas es la siguiente:

Raptors on Acid

I was walking through the jungle when I saw some crazy things,

like a bright blue stegosaurus with 18 legs.

A flying spinosaurus, told me I had to leave,

but I said, “no I can’t, this is one bad trip.”

Raptors on acid.

I saw a twisted tree with hands for branches,

T-rex wearing Ray Bands. A lime green pterodactyl,

told me he was god but I said,

"fuck that, this is one bad trip."

Raptors on acid.

I’m never doing drugs again, this is one bad trip.

Tar Pit

I lost my momma in a tar pit, i lost my dad in a tar pit

No, they're never coming back again.

I lost my brother in a tar pit, i lost my sister in a tar pit.

No, they're never coming back again.

All they wanted was some water, but they fell right in.

I lost my friend in a tar pit, i lost my girl in a tar pit.

No, they're never coming back again.

I lost my mind in a tar pit, i lost myself in a tar pit.

No, i'm never coming back again.

All I wanted was some water, but I fell right in.

Sinking in the tar, couldn't go far. Let out a scream and looked to the stars

I'm not gonna lie, i'm gonna die, i think about my family and i start to cry

I shut my eyes and clear my mind,as i try to think about a better time.

When they were here and life was great, drinking from this tar pit was a giant mistake.

All they wanted was some water, but they fell right in.

All I wanted was some water, but I fell right in.
