"POKE THE DRAGON is about my creative process," says Russell. "The best images and ideas are deep in the subconscious. Digging deep can wake some scary monsters."

POKE THE DRAGON - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

I've been down in the dark so long
In this tunnel all alone
I'm afraid to make a sound
Don't want to wake up the sleeping bones

But I feel something moving
In the depths far below
And now I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go

Yesterday I was free outside
Making plans to break in
I was brave enough to try
To rob this dragon - thought I could win

In this crazy maze of tunnels, chambers, deeps
Is the golden treasure that this dragon keeps
Sleeping with one eye half open on the hoard
You can just imagine what I creep toward

Oh, poke the dragon in his lair
Grab something precious if I dare
Before he's aware

Yeah I feel something stirring
In the depths far below
And now I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

Go poke the dragon in his lair
Grab something precious if I dare
Before he's (aware)

Go poke the dragon in his lair
Grab something precious if I dare
Before he's aware
