Titanic Terrarium Lyrics by The Tragically Hip

Titanic Terrarium Lyrics

    Growin up in a biosphere
    with no respect for bad weather
    there's still roaches and ants in here
    so resourceful and clever.
    Her great grandfather saw the future
    didn't know nothing bout panic,
    he certainly probably thought
    that it was unthinkable.
    There's a trace o mint
    wafting in from the north
    so we don't fuck with the 401
    it's bigger than us or
    larger than we bargained
    I guess it's just not done.
    His great grandfather worked for Goodyear
    he'd see the blimp on Sundays
    wonder what the driver knew
    about making rubber tires.
    Terrarium, O Terrarium

    There's submarines out there under the ice
    avoiding and courting collision
    an accident's sometimes the only way
    to worm our way back to bad decisions,
    My great grandfather was a welder
    he helped to build the Titanic
    he didn't certainly think
    that it was unsinkable.
    Building up to the larger point
    with an arrogance not rare or pretty
    we don't declare the war on idleness
    when outside it's cold and shitty.
    We stay inside and try to conjure the fathers of
    injured and faking
    if there's glory in miracles,
    it's that they're reversible
    Terrarium,
    O Terrarium
