lyrics

Exit (Pursued by a Bear)

my teacher says that Shakespeare didn't write his plays at all
“well who did?” I asked of him
“it must have been some other man.
Some better-educated man.
A more sophisticated man.”

“Who bore the name? What can you tell me of this mystery?”
“some scribbled signatures
are all that there is left to see
an actor with some property
no playwright of divinity”.

your certainty will surely be your downfall, so prepare to make your
exit pursued by a bear
exit pursued by a bear
it's a big wide world of wonders and the skeptics best beware
lest they come to contemplate a bear
a bear

my teacher says the Lord God didn't make the world at all
well who did? I ask of her
“some hydrogen and random chance.
explosions and a backward glance.
a chiliad of happenstance”
reality is what you see
not sophistry and scrambling towards your
exit pursued by a bear
exit pursued by a bear
it's a big wide world of danger and the delicate despair
as they come to contemplate a bear
a bear
exit...
