[Verse 1] They drilled the enamel, read the ancient code From a tooth in the dirt where the red clay showed Heavy isotopes in a fossilized frame Like a frozen little thermometer naming the flame [Verse 2] Thomas in the lab and the numbers rolled in Ninety-seven degrees under skin and bone skin Not a sluggish old lizard just drifting through time But a heat-built giant in a primeval climb [Chorus] Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... Right in the middle, let the rhythm sink in Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... T. rex had the fire and the science to pin it [Verse 3] Hell Creek control with the crocodile teeth Eighty-eight degrees in the ancient breath beneath Then the rex came in warm like a mammal on a run Closer to an elephant, close to the sun [Pre-Chorus] From Alaska to Mexico, the map opens wide Warm-blooded power with the ages inside Maybe true endothermy, maybe gigantothermy Big enough to keep the heat like a living steel thermos, see [Chorus] Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... Right in the middle, let the rhythm sink in Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... T. rex had the fire and the science to pin it [Bridge] Jaws of a giant, bones in the dust New questions rising from the enamel and rust What did it eat, where did it roam? Same old tooth, brand new home [Final Chorus] Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... Measured in the marrow, locked in the skin Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chickennnnn.... Now we know the king was burning within
