[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

[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

Don't want to stand in your way dear
Don't want to 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

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
