Night owl
Fleeting concentration / Darkness like the wind
The picture dances in and out of focus
A rucksack full of dirty clothes and notebooks
All of lifes' lessons to be learned
Night owl
Passes by in the daylight / Shuffles down the avenue
Each and every one
Hypnotised by bright lights, well oiled machinery
The age of wonder is dead and gone
Imaginations caked in rust
Night owl
Heed my warning:
There's snakes in the grass, the likes of which you've never known
The prison's getting full of petty criminals
Thank god you have a choice of anything but meaning
It's a war that rages on and on,
Of more than two sides
To what am I opposed?
