There's a creature in my body
There's a creature in my blood
Don't know how long he's been there
Or why he's after us

[Chorus: ]
Oh why me (gold bear's running down)
Oh why me (gold bear's running down)
Oh why me (gold bear's running down)
Oh why me (gold bear's running down)

But I'm as stubborn as a tree trunk
A screen door in the breeze
And like a wildcat in the summertime
The sun can't hide from me

[Chorus: ]

Last night as I lay dreaming
Caught an endless wave
My brothers battled out behind me
And formed a circle round my grave

[Chorus: ]
