It's three am his heart's alive
Calls him to wake
It flutters like a butterfly
Flying at a flame
It's three am his heart beat's like a collar round his neck
Sees her sleeping there like a newborn child with breath of velvet
He's the night owl, the night owl the night owl
He's the night owl he's the night owl, night owl
It's four now and the soldiers stand upright at his feet
Passing orders for the circuits that
Are tearing up the sheets
Their shadows march cross the paper wall the artex opens up
Sees a wormhole to another world where sleep is no enough
He's the night owl, the night owl the night owl
He's the night owl he's the night owl, night owl
And at the back door of his navel lies a wall and a key
And he don't know where's it's come from or to where it leads
it's the ancient cursed entrance of a mother's breath
And it's like realising that you lead your life in the wrong language
He's the night owl, the night owl the night owl
He's the night owl he's the night owl, night owl
He's the night owl
He's the night owl
He's the night owl
And he crawls slowly to
Sleep as you wake to the inky dawn
