The Bear Comes Back Down the Mountain

Keeping ourselves so hid
From the daylight
It reigned for some long time
Then came the night
And with our blood so cold
We tumbled down
And with our muscles slowed
We slept so sound
Like the bear who crawled away to hibernate
While other beasts struggled with the snow
Then to reawake inside the cave
And come down the mountain, here we go

And so museums are built
With opposed thumbs
And reptile roots might be
Fruitfully dug
And when the story's told
Will it be right
Some say its stubborn scales
Some say it size
Like the bear who crawled away to hibernate
While other beasts struggled with the snow
Then to reawake inside the cave
And come down the mountain, here we go

And at the tail end of those little creeps
That eat on eggs while we
Asleep in peace
Some to rebuild those bones
We're whole again
Standing in great hallways
Scare little kids
Like the bear who crawled away to hibernate
While other beasts struggled with the snow
Then to reawake inside the cave
And come down the mountain, here we go
