A long time ago, in the land of the dinosaur/ something would never take place./ With the fate of the world resting square on your shoulders/ the crew will salute as you radio bass, but they'll wipe/ that smile off your face/ with face-reconstruction CG./ Now your life has an alternate ending./ You could be spending your life with me.

Up on a pirate ship; out on a camping trip;/ some haunted house off in space./ On the trail of maniac stalking the crew I will/ pull something out of my carrying case but the/ draft with my flash light switched for an Arpa Lite/ isn't the one that was used./ Now my life has an alternate ending./ I will be spending my life confused.

Well lately yo I've been thinking of all the editing and all the cutting/ That I've been doing on this project/ It's lacking logic. I gotta solve it/ See me, I believe in fantasies, and these tragedies, and these comedies/ But I'm hoping that, when I'm looking back, it'll be your face on that silver screen/ But that isn't how we shipped it out/ And that ending I could live without/ Change it, make it canonical/ Special edition just made available/ Cause if Dante's still alive, then I can surely try/ To change the ending of this movie called my life/ And have you right there standing next me/ Makes me glad to see, fans all up in the balcony/ Cheering for our story, worshipping the glory/ Sadly it's a fantasy I distorted/ And if ya feel, that it wasn't real/ I'll just make some cuts and act like it's no deal/ But in interviews I'll them, one against a million,/ I was sadly forced to play the role of villian./ Keeping ego small but damnit, all of ya'll./ Far as I recall, the one who took the fall.

I would rise/ to the very most costly occasion/ despite the occasional cost./ With a frequency critics/ revere as amazing,/ you'd find me stargazing,/ remembering all that was lost on the cutting room floor/ won't appear anymore, even on DVD./ Now your life has an alternate ending./ You could be spending your life with me.

Ghost brontosauruses sung out in chorus saying,/ "Son, what am I 'sposed to do?"/ If my life had an alternate ending,/ I could be spending my life/ ending my life./ If my life had an alternate ending,/ I would be spending my life/ with you.
