Hop Along – Of My Brothers And The Bear lyrics
We thought we heard a bear
We turned around to run
Me and my cousins one by one

Thought man if I had a gun
I'd have shot him in the head
I'd of shot that big bear dead

Laid his skin out in the sun
And hang him up to dry with clothespins
And the town would think me brave

Throw a party in my honor
Mom would paint my face with deer blood
I'd enter like a god

And the bear'd be on a flagpole
Wave to all the little boys and girls
Come spring he would disintegrate
And be reborn a plumber

So suddenly it seems to me I ain't no artist
I ougha be the dirt along the ocean floor
So when it drains I'll float to shore

Now scathingly I'll throw the paint along my wall
And fall and faint
My bones will know just what to do
By the break of dawn I will be new

We thought we saw a man
We could not see a gun
So my brother said move on

Thought man if I had a bomb
I'd of blown the scoundrel up
Watch his head and heart hiccup
Erupt in tinsel and blue cinders turn August into winter

And we'd build a big snowman out of his pancreas and glitter
Grab a scarf so he won't shiver
It'll keep him nice and warm

And the man (he'd blow to heaven)
Be among (his loves and brethren)
In the morning (he'd wake up to find) himself reborn a bear

So suddenly it seems to me I ain't no artist
I oughta be the dirt of the ocean floor
So when it drains I'll float to shore

Now joyously, I'll throw the paint along the mountains
Liberate the blue, all the seagulls will adore
They won't care for the fish anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore

I guess I-I will wake up
I'll shake this off
I'll call my cousins
And miss my brothers, my father, my mother, and my big sister In New Mexico

I don't recall it was just a dream
I-I-I-I-I don't recall it was just a dream

One two three

I don't recall it was just a dream
But if I see a bear I hope I hope I hope I come back
It might come back to me
It might come back to me
