"Don't Poke The Bear" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

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

Drama becomes elastic
Then snaps back into place
I think I saw your temperament
Running out the gate
Cocaine eyes and a choke slam
Blood vessels 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

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
