There's a bear inside your stomach

He's loud, though without vocal chords

We'll put an end to him

We'll play charades up in the Chelsea

Drink champagne although you shouldn't be.

None of our friends will come

They dodge our calls.

It's not a shock

You don't seem to mind and I just can't see how.

And if this isn't all a dream

And terrified of what that means

And you'll just keep my in the waiting room
Em Am
And all the while I'll know we're fucked

And not getting unfucked soon

When we get home we're bigger strangers
C G F#
than we've ever been before
Em Am C D
You sit in front of snowy television, suitcase on the floor
Chorus:
C Bm
We're too old
Am D
We're not old at all.

Just too old

We're not old at all.

About this song: Bear
The whole piece is a mesh of intriguing hooks. Starts out with music box sounds and quiet lyrics that seem to be about being on a failing performance circuit then kicks up to a fast new wave garage sound A fast but somber mood describes the feeling out of place and alienated from within. Similar to Aztec Camera, early REM.
