From the water to the land I Learn to swim and learn to stand I'm Found here by the hands of Neil Shubin Carry me home To find the Inner fish unknown
Here on the cusp Between fish and tetrapod Lie the skeletal remains In permafrost. Amphibiously name them Tiktaalik
Carry me 3,00o miles in a plaster jacket all the way from Ellesmere Island In the back seat of a rocket Fly me 'round the world to find my inner fish
Coming up to take a breath and Have to use my rubber neck 'cause I see some sheilas on the bank And I'm built for looking up Crawl on all fours, and do some push ups on the shore
375 million years or more An ancient salamander caged inside a cliff No longer to meander Tiktaalik
Carry me 3,000 miles in a jacket of plaster All the way from Ellesmere Island Cargo on the helicopter Fly me 'round the world to find my inner fish
Evolution, revolution, Darwinism, skepticism. Bulging eyes and fleshy pecs, Dotted with some colored specks. One glance, second chance, come upon you... happen-stance. Tik taa lik!
