Glenn Tipton - Extinct lyrics

rate me

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct

I stand alone in many ways

Evolving from a different race

I have a name I have a face

And I'm still breathing

Endangered species are it's said

A little rare - I'm not dead yet

Don't strike me off your list just yet

Cos I'm still breeding

Gone but not for good and you bet

I'll resurrect again

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct

One of a kind but I am not

Just a statistic in your book

There may be just a few of us

But I'm still living

Invisible to many eyes

It may then come as some surprise

Re-energised I will arise

Hey! I'm not finished

Gone but not for good and you bet

I'll resurrect again

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct

I won't fade away

I'm staying

I refuse to be endangered

I'll protect my reputation

That of living not forgetting

I am indestructible

I'm made like you of flesh and blood

I'm not a fossil etched in stone

I am alive I'm not alone

Prehistoric I never was

I'm made like you of flesh and blood

Unlike the dinosaur I'm not

About to perish

I walk this earth

Alongside God

I asked "Man am I done?"

He looked at me

He said "Live on

You won't get damaged"

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct

I am alive

Not on the brink

But people think

I am extinct

Don't write me off

Or even think

I don't exist

I'm not extinct
