Lyrics

The bushes dance
And the world outside it just makes you tense
Once a year
You stick your head out to see if the coast is clear
Thylacine
The way that they treated you was just obscene
I know exactly how you must feel
Ten thousand year old has-been
In another place
On a school excursion I first saw your face
Through a glass case
And I had a million questions and the least of which was why
But I knelt down, saw no answer in your marble foreign eye
Thylacine
The way that they treated you's a mystery
And I don't know the things you must have seen
You're a ten thousand year old
Ten thousand year old has-been
Famous
The marsupial Elvis
You've been seen
In places I know you've never been
But you can't walk to the shop
Without getting stopped
It's outrageous
And not much fun
If you can't tell the difference between cameras or guns
And your world's getting smaller
Yard after yard
And you tell yourself it wasn't meant to be this hard
Thylacine
God help you thylacine
Thylacine
The way that they treated you's a mystery
And I don't know the things you must have seen
You're a ten thousand year old
Ten thousand year old has-been
God help you thylacine
