Taxonomy Lyrics by The Minor Thirds

Saskatchewan

2003

Bears live in the forest
\nGoats live on the farm
\nArmies live in barracks
\nAnd arm hairs live up the length of my arm
\nDust lives in the desert
\nDust mites live in the carpet
\nRoses live on the bushes
\nMastodon bones live in the La Brea Tar Pits
\n
\nCriminals live in jail (I am coming)
\nOr they live three houses down (I am coming across the line)
\nPopcorn lives in the popcorn popper (I am coming)
\nAnd frown lines live right next to your frown (I am coming across the line)
\nProgrammers live in cubicles (I am setting)
\nStarfish live on the beach (I am setting my clothes on fire)
\nCats live in litter boxes (And I am setting)
\nThe remote control lives just out of reach (I am setting my passport on fire)
\n
\nThe government lives in Washington (I am molting)
\nOr it lives in Ottawa (I am molting off my skin)
\nThe states live in America (I am peeling)
\nThe provinces live in Canada (I am peeling my eyelids back)
\nSoap lives at the side of the sink (There is new webbing)
\nBees live in a hive (Between my toes)
\nParisians live in Paris (And my lungs are exposed)
\nZombies are no longer alive (And my blood runs cold)
\n
\nTrain conductors live in a little room (I am coming)
\nWhere they sleep standing up (I am coming across the line)
\nTea lives in tea bags (I am coming)
\nA prisoner's water lives in a tin cup (I am coming across the line)
\nKnishes live in the deli (I am setting)
\nOyster crackers live in soup (I am setting my clothes on fire)
\nChicken breasts live in chicken chests (And I am setting)
\nAnd chickens live in the coop (I am setting the woods on fire)
\n
\nWheat lives in the prairies (I am coming)
\nKudzu lives in the South (I am coming)
\nChange lives underneath the cushions (I am coming)
\nSaliva lives in your mouth (I am coming)
\nBears live in the forest (And I am coming)
\nGoats live on the farm
\nArmies live in barracks\n\n
