Lyrics
The Bear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Its a bad idea, to go down to the pier by your self after dark
It's a bad idea, 'cause they're down on their luck
And they've lost touch with their bleeding hearts
Bad idea, 'cause I've felt that way and I know I shouldn't have gone
The time is near
To come forward with whatever killed your spark
There's still time, for you
To change your mind or whatever
Else you do
There's still time
