Track: Grizzly in the Guestroom Album: Haunted Estate (Intro) "Yeah... 5:00 AM in the guestroom... He’s sitting cross-legged on the carpet... Whispering to a teddy bear... Welcome to the wilderness..." [Verse 1] Riding through the Alaskan rain, talking to the trees Living in a nylon tent, floating on the breeze Thirteen summers in the brush, no weapon in his hand Trying to be a grizzly king in a forbidden land Now he’s sitting on my floor, staring at the wall Explaining how the forest spirit answers to his call Got a phantom in a bandana, eyes wide and bright Preaching 'bout the maze of nature late into the night He says "Franky, listen close, the bears are misinformed I was born to protect them from the coming storm!" [Chorus] Break on through to the wilderness side! Grizzly in the guestroom, nowhere to hide! I ain't happy, I'm feeling fine Got Alaskan mud and bear tracks on the mind Yeah, staring down the alpha in the twilight haze... Lost inside a psychedelic forest maze! [Verse 2] Barefoot on the linoleum, chanting to the rain Trying to wash away the city, trying to break the chain He called them Chocolate and Downey, thought they were his friends Until the autumn wind came howling round the river bends Got a psycho-active preacher living in my space Telling me that civilization is a total waste He doesn't want a cup of coffee, doesn't want a chair Just wants to dance around the hallway with an imaginary bear! [Bridge] Is he talking to the foxes? ... Constantly. Did he bring a tent? ... Inside the house. Is that a real bear outside? ... "I am their defender, Franky." [Chorus] Break on through to the wilderness side! Grizzly in the guestroom, nowhere to hide! I ain't happy, I'm feeling fine Got Alaskan mud and bear tracks on the mind Yeah, staring down the alpha in the twilight haze... Lost inside a psychedelic forest maze! [Outro] Into the fog... Listen to the howl... Haunted Estate... Out!
