[00:00.755]Through the overgrowth
[00:03.192]Of the underbrush
[00:05.130]Shone a fossil tooth
[00:07.443]That I must have dropped
[00:09.571]Very long ago
[00:11.634]Which reminded me
[00:13.445]How we wound up where we are now
[00:17.888]Right through those trees
[00:20.510]I'm not insane
[00:22.888]That's where we came
[00:25.136]Into this place
[00:27.325]And if you squint
[00:29.559]If you squint your brain
[00:31.928]I'll get my paints
[00:33.040]And I'll try to paint
[00:34.673]Canajoharie
[00:39.110]Canajoharie
[00:43.484]Where a frog flipper first evolved on the day
[00:47.596]When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
[00:52.216]Out of Canajoharie
[00:56.825]Canajoharie
[01:01.141]Call me sentimental
[01:03.076]But I want to go back
[01:05.014]And commemorate the place
[01:07.309]With a historical plaque
[01:09.749]It's as if a fin
[01:14.057]Reaching from the swamp
[01:16.246]Grabbed me by my arm
[01:18.301]Tried to pull me in
[01:20.682]But my arm was strong
[01:22.796]And the fin was an
[01:24.608]Inaccurately reconstructed fake
[01:27.985]It was right through those trees
[01:31.712]I'm not insane
[01:33.895]That's where the fin
[01:36.014]Tried to drag me in
[01:38.388]Don't look at me
[01:40.588]Look at where I'm pointing
[01:43.073]Close your eyes
[01:44.061]See what I see
[01:45.747]Canajoharie
[01:50.122]Canajoharie
[01:54.445]I get the creeping feeling
[01:56.380]All my old friends are gone
[01:58.735]And that this baby tooth
[02:00.730]No longer fits in my skull
[02:21.998]If you can draw
[02:25.125]It in the air
[02:27.366]Or write it down
[02:29.490]Then you weren't there
[02:31.795]What's gone is mute
[02:33.923]Someone changed the truth
[02:36.023]They swapped the proof
[02:37.359]And there's nothing left of
[02:39.370]Canajoharie
[02:43.361]Canajoharie
[02:47.976]Where a frog flipper first evolved on the day
[02:51.837]When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
[02:56.393]Where a rocket ship
[02:57.945]Experiment went awry
[03:00.694]When the prototype
[03:02.380]Exploded on the launching site
[03:05.139]Like in Canajoharie
[03:10.111]Canajoharie
[03:14.491]Call me sentimental
[03:16.308]But I want to go back
[03:18.380]And commemorate the place
[03:20.877]With a historical plaque
