And wake up cold to the smell of bread?
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
Not a single bear in there
A hundred hours
There ain't no bears in there
Did you ever have to make a draw
(Cache, cache)
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
(Cache, cache)
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?
Don't jump in expectin' fun
Did you ever pass the police at work
Or scare the horse to escape the snow?
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
(Cache, cache)
'Cos I'll tell you something for nothing
Did you ever finally find a place
(Cache, cache)
(Cache, cache)
And when you finally laid down your face
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Don't enter the cage wavin' a chair
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone?
There ain't no bears in there
Wake up the children who hope for ghosts?
I'll tell you something for nothing
(Cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there
(Cache, cache)
Don't enter the cage wavin' chairs
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
Were you ever fooled by laughters lure
A guests to curse their noisy hosts?
Only to find that they laughed in spite?
You found you slept for a hundred hours?
Did you ever Jemmy a stable door
A happy face keep you warm at night?
(Cache, cache)
No bears in there
There ain't no bears in there
And hope that they might take you in?
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Not a single bear in there
Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Past cosy homes with secret beds?
When someone plays it aloof to sin?
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
Don't jump in expectin' fun
(Cache, cache)
'Cos I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there
Did you ever invade a neat little yard
There ain't no bears in there
(Cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there
Well I have slept there badly twice
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers?
