Stream Owl: Pre-save the album ‘Where The Angels Fall’ (out August 25) - FOLLOW THE CAT EMPIRE: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: TikTok: @thecatempireofficial LYRICS: 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!
