One 04:18
One thing leads to another. I am lying on the floor. One thing's not like the other. Princess who turns into a whore. When she's awake. When she needs a taste. (CHORUS) You're not the one. Who gets a little taste. You're not the one. No embrace. Mind's made up too late. Confused and not getting laid. Bare down and grit your teeth. Unshiethed and plugged a leak. When she's awake. When she needs a taste.
2.
Astronaut 03:54
When we were just innocent. Dreams of stars danced in our heads. All of our hopes were in a straight line. We never knew just what it meant. When you are so ignorant. You don't have the time. (Chorus) Astronaut, you're not, you're not. Looking up over the fence. At the things that you regret. And can not change. Live your life inside a jar. Never seem to get too far. Go around back to the start (Chorus) Astronaut, you're not, you're not. Seeing farther back than you can remember. Seeing farther back than you can remember. (Chorus) Astronaut, you're not, you're not.
3.
Rotten 04:06
Nobody's coming for you. Nobody cares about you. Your body is rotting around you. Nobody's coming for you. Feeling the dirt that surrounds you. The sunlight it confounds you. People will walk all over you. Pissing all over and on you. (Chorus) Feeling you're dying from living. Feeling you're rotten from your bones. Feeling you're falling off the edge of. Everyone else's expectations. If I was a fish I'd. Swim on over to your side. If I said I'd really try. It would only be a big lie.
4.
He's heading off to Las Vegas. Where pop stars go to die. Twenty dollars in his pocket. His lust and a silver rocket. A name and number written on a napkin. In lipstick red number 10. He's off to meet his fate today. He met on Craigslist yesterday. (Chorus) As advertised. You will get high. Your heart will bleed from your eyes. Not as advertised. She's standing by a stop sign. In Spandex smoking e-cigarettes. He holds on to her JPEG. Thinking you're not what I had in mind.
5.
Made Up 04:39
It's hard enough to know. When love gives up it's hold. You know it's just a game. Costs everything to play. When you wake up today. You'll feel like you've been played. Feel sorry for yourself. It's all that you've got left. (Chorus) Pretend you're made up. Pretend you're made up. Pretend you're made up again. Look in the mirror and say. Today is a brand new day. But don't forget to lie. With all you have inside. Come on motherfucker. Come on, come and get some.
6.
Cast 03:35
Go ahead and pour a drink. But not from my bones. Open up and let it sink in. Deep into your ghost. Take me away from here. And feed me to the beast. Flowers grow up from here. Where the dead come to feast. (Chorus) I feel so lucky to be so rusty. In need of money to be so cunning. Pretend to love me and then get married. To my sadness and make a cast of it for us. To feel everyday. Go ahead and make a claim. But not on my bones. Thrown stones will cause you pain. But names will break your ghost.
7.
Can you come and wash me clean? Of all the bad things I've been. Deep down inside of me. Of all the things I've dreamed. And I have been wondering. When my feet are done wandering. And I have been pondering. All the things I'd rather have been. (Chorus) Lay down in the Queen Anne's lace. And think about what I've become. Feel it brush against my face. And wipe away the tears. I lost my shit and had a fit. Tore a strip off some kid. Cause he reminded me. Of who I used to wish to be.
8.
Silence 04:59
Carelessly trip and fall down that rabbit hole. Carefully open up your insides and let me see. Hear that. (Chorus) Silence. Silence. Silence. Paint your heart in a lighter shade of your dark. Inside out with the longest reach outside your doubt. Hear that.
9.
Nobody can tell me what to do. Or how to do it or who with. I will not be defined by what I seem. You shall not impose your limits. (Chorus) I will be the way I see. I will be defined the way I see. Freedom comes from a place inside. Where fear is defied and discounted. I know what I want but not how to get it. But I'll find my way say fuck it.
10.
Pedigree 05:18
When you are born if it's a boy You are taught with your toys. Guns and bombs and power tools. Daddy's son won't be a fool. Sing our song. Our anthem. Sing our song. Of our world. (Chorus) Where men are men. And you are weak. You're a slave. To this pedigree. Do not cry. Never smile. Just be hard in the style of this pedigree. You must love sports and bigamy. And drink to thwart your enemies. You must be proud and speak loud. And push your fist into the weak. Sing our song. Our anthem. Sing our song. Of our world. (Chorus) Where men are men. And you are weak. You're a slave. To this pedigree. Do not cry. Never smile. Just be hard in the style of this pedigree. Take your son. His life you hold. Up to the plate. His soul you sold.
11.
Blister 04:26
Hello it's been a while. Since you've seen my face. I know it's different now. A little out of place. If you'd like let me know. I can stay a while. We can dangle on the wire. Killing more than time. (Chorus) Want to watch you scream for me. Want to be controlled a while. Want to leave more than relief. Want to release your hate. Be gone it's over now. But I can still taste. Your bitterness is happy now. All over my face. Your mind is clearer now. You've made up your mind. Let me save you relieve you now. Of all of your pride. (Chorus) Want to watch you scream for me. Want to be controlled a while. Want to leave more than relief. Want to release your hate. One shoe fits more than the other. One shoe fits more than the other. One shoe fits more than the other. One shoe always causes a blister.
12.
Cyanide 07:16
Mary thinks that she is a star child. Descendant from the kings of a space tribe. She sings of her mission in the stars. Covered in blood of her innocence. Maleficent. (Chorus) She downloads from a satellite. Right in to her mind. She downloads from a satellite. Hydrogen cyanide. Her people are coming for her. To take her to a better place. Self-erase.

about

Andrew's 4th album, sounds like all of your favorite 90's rock bands all rolled into one album. Drawing on grunge, punk and alternative rock from the era, Bi-Polar Bear delivers a one-two punch of catchy melodies and rock-n-roll riffage surely to scratch a nostalgic itch for rock music. From the melancholy chorus of Astronaut and the brooding bassline and chiming guitars of Rotten. To the powerful ballad of longing and regret on Queen Anne's Lace. Bi-Polar Bear hits all the right spots for that 90's vibe.


"Spicer seems to have tapped directly into the ’90s hit generator. He’s essentially filling in the blanks and giving us more or what we wanted after an absence of 20 years." - Alex Cook (The East)
