Sir, I caught my juggernaut at your game
Fifteen-thousand miles and I'm feeling great
I've been on the run, but I done my time
You just can't stand still with a friend like mine
There's a bear that walks like a man
Better shake him fast
Better hide yourself if you can
cause he wants your ass
I believe you'll do quite well
But only time will tell
if you got the bear or the bear got you
Drive the coach and six for the county line
Point me towards the tube and I'll be just fine
Mr Quick has flown from the cosmic zoo
Someone must be him and I just found you
There's a bear that walks like a man
Better shake him fast
Better hide yourself if you can
cause he wants your ass
I believe you'll do quite well
But only time will tell
if you got the bear or the bear got you

Fifteen-thousand miles and I'm feeling great
I've been on the run, but I done my time
You just can't stand still with a friend like mine
There's a bear that walks like a man
Better shake him fast
Better hide yourself if you can
cause he wants your ass
I believe you'll do quite well
But only time will tell
if you got the bear or the bear got you
Drive the coach and six for the county line
Point me towards the tube and I'll be just fine
Mr Quick has flown from the cosmic zoo
Someone must be him and I just found you
There's a bear that walks like a man
Better shake him fast
Better hide yourself if you can
cause he wants your ass
I believe you'll do quite well
But only time will tell
if you got the bear or the bear got you
