Lyrics (unofficial)

Although I saw you once
On a piece of film
It was grainy and dark

Well I'm sorry señor
But there ain't no more
Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

If you walk in the night
If you growl in your sleep
You want to howl out at the moon

Well I'm sorry my dear
But don't look here
You're Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

Still I wonder where you are tonight

She could open her mouth
A thousand feet wide
On a piece of film

Well I'm sorry I'm sure
But there ain't no more
Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

Still I wonder where you are tonight

Yeah, I was walking along
And I saw you from my Thylacine
I'm searching here I'm searching there
Ah, I was searching everywhere
I saw this woman and I said
'Excuse me, have you seen my Thylacine anywhere
I put a poster up on the wall with my phone number'
She said 'Oh, man you're so out of luck
They're as extinct as all fuck'
