Slow Owl

 Slow owl slow owl

you go so slowly

Why do you take so long

To wake up in the morning

Cause you've been hooting all night long


Slow owl, what d you mean about

burning the candle in the morning

and in the night time too?

Is it any wonder you're asunder

Caught between the devil

And the blue

If there was thunder would

you wonder

What on earth it all meant

To you?


Slow owl, oh can you tell

what I am knowing?

Slow owl, can you tell

If it is true?

That the lives we live

Are always going

Down the toilet

With the toilet paper too


Slow owl, slow owl

When you turn your head

I think that you aren't knowing

What you just said

I think the sun is slowing

Yes it's burning low and red

So slow owl, slow owl

It's time you showed 

Yourself instead
