Right through those trees, I’m not insane
That’s where we c[Am/C]ame into this place
[E/B]and if you squint, if you squint your brain
I’ll take my paints and try to paint

Canajohar[B/D#]ie
Canajoh[A/C#]arie[E/B]

Where a front flipper first evolved on the day
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away

Out of Canajohar[B/D#]ie
Canajoh[A/C#]arie [E/B]

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 a[Am/C]rm, tried to pull me in
[E/B]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 f[Am/C]in tried to drag me in
[E/B]Don’t look at me, look at where I’m pointing
Close your eyes, see what I see

Canajohar[B/D#]ie
Canajoh[A/C#]arie [E/B]

I get the creeping feeling all my old friends are gone
And that this baby tooth no longer fits in my skull

bridge:
[B/D#]
If you can draw it in the air
Or write it dow[Am/C]n, then you weren’t there
[E/B]What’s gone is mute
Someone changed the truth
They smoked the proof
And there’s nothing left of

Canajohar[B/D#]ie
Canajoh[A/C#]arie [E/B]

Where a front 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

Back in Canajohar[B/D#]ie
Canajoh[A/C#]arie [E/B]

Call me sentimental but I want to go back
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
