Song | Owls |
Artist | The Handsome Family |
Album | Wilderness |
The blue house at the corner | |
Of twilight instinct | |
Four stories floor in Terrence | |
Floors of wood parquet | |
And now so many owls | |
Snowy, horned and screech | |
Thousands of owls | |
All flapping their wings | |
How I love the marble staircase | |
The claw footed tubs | |
The room of rare orchids | |
The glass hall for my guns | |
Statue the pharaohs | |
20 feet tall | |
Crystal chandeliers | |
Rare paintings of clowns | |
But we have so many owls | |
I’m never alone | |
The owls make this blue house | |
A home | |
How peaceful it is | |
To watch them soar | |
Through the palm tree ballroom | |
With its gold panel doors | |
And as I sit by the fire | |
And slip off my boots | |
They purge all harpoons | |
And the stuffed heads of moose | |
The apothecary closet | |
Is like my shelves | |
But deeper than expected | |
And slammed it as well | |
How long have I been here? | |
Searching for my pills | |
As the ceiling grows upward | |
And the walls start to swell | |
Oh the owls, the owls | |
With their feathers of silk | |
The owls, they mock me | |
And have stolen my pills | |
But the owls, the owls | |
With their shiny green eyes | |
The owls, they will save me | |
If not today, then tonight |
The blue house at the corner | |
Of twilight instinct | |
Four stories floor in Terrence | |
Floors of wood parquet | |
And now so many owls | |
Snowy, horned and screech | |
Thousands of owls | |
All flapping their wings | |
How I love the marble staircase | |
The claw footed tubs | |
The room of rare orchids | |
The glass hall for my guns | |
Statue the pharaohs | |
20 feet tall | |
Crystal chandeliers | |
Rare paintings of clowns | |
But we have so many owls | |
I' m never alone | |
The owls make this blue house | |
A home | |
How peaceful it is | |
To watch them soar | |
Through the palm tree ballroom | |
With its gold panel doors | |
And as I sit by the fire | |
And slip off my boots | |
They purge all harpoons | |
And the stuffed heads of moose | |
The apothecary closet | |
Is like my shelves | |
But deeper than expected | |
And slammed it as well | |
How long have I been here? | |
Searching for my pills | |
As the ceiling grows upward | |
And the walls start to swell | |
Oh the owls, the owls | |
With their feathers of silk | |
The owls, they mock me | |
And have stolen my pills | |
But the owls, the owls | |
With their shiny green eyes | |
The owls, they will save me | |
If not today, then tonight |
