Join UsCanajoharie lyrics by They Might Be Giants
In the overgrowth of the underbrush
Shone a fossil tooth which I must have dropped
Very long ago which reminded me
How we wound up where we are now
Right through those trees, I'm not insane
That's where we came into this place
And if you squint, if you squint your brain
I'll get my paints and I'll try to paint
Canajoharie, Canajoharie
Where a frog flipper first evolved on the day
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
Out of Canajoharie, Canajoharie
Call me sentimental but I want to go back
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
It's as if a fin reaching from the swamp
Grabbed me by my arm
Tried to pull me in but my arm was strong
And the fin was an inaccurately reconstructed fake
It was right through those trees, I'm not insane
That's where the fin tried to drag me in
Don't look at me, look at where I'm pointing
Close your eyes, see what I see
Canajoharie, Canajoharie
I get the creeping feeling all my old friends are gone
And that this baby tooth no longer fits in my skull
If you can draw it in the air
Or write it down then you weren't there
What's gone is mute, someone changed the truth
They swapped the proof and there's nothing left of
Canajoharie, Canajoharie
Where a frog flipper first evolved on the day
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
Where a rocket ship experiment went awry
When the prototype exploded on the launching site
Like in Canajoharie, Canajoharie
Call me sentimental but I want to go back
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
