[Verse 1] Guess I'm always blinded By the emperor's new clothes There's always something lurking Down the rabbit hole And in the back of your mind there's a crosshair And a target, powder blue Don't want to cause any trouble Don't want to poke the bear in the zoo [Chorus] Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo [Verse 2] Drama becomes elastic Then snaps back into place I think I saw your temperament Running out the gate Cocainе eyes and a choke slam Blood vеssels I never knew Don't want to stand in your way dear Don't want to poke the bear in the zoo [Chorus] Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo [Verse 3] It's just a feeling A blood moon And I watch it pass the way it's passed before Come down from the ceiling Change the view Just leave the keys in a plant pot by the door Caught in a loop, caught in a loop [Chorus] Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo Don't poke the bear in the zoo
