Chasing a Bee Lyrics by Mercury Rev

Yerself Is Steam

1991

[Intro]
Those seducers, those seducers
Those seducers, those seducers

[Verse 1]
Bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers
Find eager seekers
Deep deef down, beautiful lines from above and we're all aglow
Raise her head and things get warm
Hold on to its leg before it flies away
Sunlit walks, I feel no harm
My primitive words match my primitive heart
It's not as easy as it may seem
Remember that yourself is steam

[Chorus]
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar

[Verse 2]
Then like sheep led to the sacrificial slaughter
They don't mind, but they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
Their pretty shells are so inviting, well-protected
Their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

[Chorus]
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar
In a jar, in a jar, in a jar

[Post-Chorus]
It's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
It's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine

[Verse 4]
I'm feeling troubled, I'm feeling trapped
Can't shake that bubble off my back
It's not as easy as it may seem
Remember that yourself is steam
It's not as easy as it may seem
Remember that yourself is steam

It's not time for the real life sign
It's not time for these fears of mine
I'm feeling troubled, I'm feeling trapped
Can't shake that bubble off my back
I feel no harm, I feel no harm, feel no harm

[Chorus]
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar
And of course it don't mind chasing a bee inside a jar
In a jar, in a jar, in a jar

[Interlude]

It's not as easy as it may seem
Remember that yourself is steam

[Interlude]

[Outro]
What once was lost will never be found
Keep spinning in circles till you break new ground
