The Cat Empire - Owl Lyrics

Owl Song Lyrics
Owl by The Cat Empire The owl of Zaragoza
Is sitting by my window
Daring me out
As I sit there by my piano
I let spiders take my hands
Daring the words to entwine
Why's there so much loving?
Why's there so much trouble?
The rhetorical snake replies
It's just the song sung for the river
So don't be scared, don't be shy
Don't even ask why

One shot and slam down
Got fire in my belly
I turn and that owl
Has taken to the air
I know where that one goes
I know where that one flies
And I'll follow it tonight

One more for this life
One more for the show
One more for the sky
And the fire down below
One more for the night
Where the purple lilacs grow
One more for the dead
One more for the road!

On one hand is tattooed joy
On one hand is tattooed strife
And I've been boxing half of my life
What's the difference Duran?
What's the difference?
Between the No Mas
And the championship high?

So high I look down
The ground is like speckles
The owl and my mind
Have taken to the sky
The witching time arrives
Band by my side
We step into the lights

One more for this life
One more for the show
One more for the sky
And the fire down below
One more for the night
Where the purple lilacs grow
One more for the dead
One more for the road!

In my dream the was a mechanical bull
I watched it on a screen
And it was blocking me from entering my life
In the next scene there was a rain or arrows
And the matador and the bull
Both got drenched in those fine diagonal lines
I was director, I was matador
And the bull was my name
When I woke I was drenched
From the storm where I came
As the sweat on my body got cold
I started shivering and shivering
And shivering and shivering

And I (ee-aeh)
I know where that one goes
I know where that one flies
And I'll follow it tonight

One more for this life
One more for the show
One more for the sky
And the fire down below
One more for the night
Where the purple lilacs grow
One more for the dead
One more for the road

One more for the eyes
Of the spirits in this room
One more for the future
That's coming for us soon
One more for the fight
And the never ending blows
One more for your love
One more for the road!
