Some people say he's got a bowl for a brain and
that pilot's cap he wears is really just a charade, you know he's
never been the one behind the controls
Strange things hidden in the creases and folds
Everything is not what it seems, you've got to
scratch the surface to uncover a dream
You might look around your whole life
and never find a bear with such a sweet surprise...
*You can try to buy him
but he's not for sale
Gypsy by nature
like a killer whale
Swim against the mainstream
but you let it flow
if you get it excited
it goes to show....
This is the part of the song about what this song
is not about
This is the part of the song about what this song
is not about
It's not about money, it's not about greed
it's not about the things you think you need
it's not about me, it's not about you
it's not about a baby with two new shoes
This is not a song about a wrong
happened to a man with a brand new bong
It's not about a man raised on mars
teachin' everybody how to reach the stars...
...and though the evidence seems to point to
another name that has no face
you can bang your gavel all day long
and he'll smile in your face.
(guitar solo)
Make a little music
make a lotta love
treat your fine woman
like she's sent from above.
Wanna know a secret?
better listen close
If it isn't in you
it's not in the dose.
Two sides to every story, inside and out
and even though you're certain, there should be some doubt about
what's been lurkin underneath his coat
but just the same, on a positive note
he's undercover with the KGB
savin' all his secrets till he shows 'em to me
so if you're lookin' for a better way to fly
listen to the bear and tell your worries goodbye...
