Owls Of Athens

Sultry night bird, come to the door
Lick, lick lips and loosen robe, what's in store?
Another dog needs me

Throw, throw your sugar shapes at the flickering lights
Wings flap at the windowpane, broken in flight
A cigarette falls to the floor

Sugar daddy
Come for your girls
Hold them closely
Want them, need them

The owls of Athens
Have lost their song and lost their flutter
And the world they live in
May never change for the better

Please resurrect, please resurrect me
Defibrillate, defibrillate me
A picture of me in a see-through dress
A shadow of me in an unmade bed
The trouble with me is I'm past my best
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes

(The owls of Athens)
The owls of Athens
(The owls of Athens)
The owls of Athens
The owls of Athens
Have lost their song and lost their flutter

The owls of Athens
The owls of Athens
