Lyrics

Trilobite, right Dwight's in the light-bite
Trilobite, right in the light-bite, Dwight

Basking on the shores of time
The little stone creature ain't dead to the world
They call him

Trilobite, right Dwight's in the light-bite
Trilobite, right in the light-bite, Dwight

Clicking away for a second of fame
A billion years later they give it a name
They call it

Trilobite, right Dwight's in the light-bite
Trilobite, right in the light-bite, Dwight

When I'm too wasted these rocks to clamber
Then lean me on the cliff and encase me in amber
And a creature from future in
Way out when
Will clock my fossil and name me Sven
That's a nice name
Alright!

Built for a world where nothing needs shaving
Look at them stone antennae a-waving

Trilobite, right Dwight's in the light-bite
Trilobite, right in the light-bite, Dwight

Let's hold a clicking championship
The Trilobite wins and everybody else loses
