lyrics

I’ve been walking to the barn at night
To watch an owl sharpen his knife
He turned his head and he said to me
Oh boy you wanna climb this tree
Shadows been following for way too long
Block out the sun they might leave me alone
Engulfs my mind can’t sleep at night
I see this owl and his wicked knife

His eyes
They look like the devil's
His eyes
Remind me of the devil's

I’m been dreaming of the trees instead
But finding feathers tangled in my head
Scratches deep on the wooden floor
Is Lucifer knocking at my door
I’ve been walking to the barn at night
To watch an owl sharpen his knife
Doesn’t show no doesn’t appear
Until I hear a whisper in my ear

His eyes
They look like the devil's
His eyes
Oh remind me of the devil's

Being beckoned in the twilight hour
To blanket the moon might diminish the power
Gonna see if the branch will hold
Oh I guess not from the stories I’m told
I took a shot to confront the glance
And serenade the owl's death dance
Let’s hope the dam does hold the flood
What ain’t buried in water will be buried in blood

Shadows been following for way too long
Block out the sun they might leave me alone
Engulfs my mind can’t sleep at night
I see this owl and his wicked knife
I’ve been starting fires in the dark
To burn the trees and to bury the barn
Melt into ashes, that’s the burden of life
Wish for the owl and his wicked knife

His eyes
They look like the devil's
His eyes
Oh remind me of the devil's

Trip Westerns Brighton, UK

Rock n Roll / Psych n Soul
Trip Westerns are a 5 piece rock n roll band formed and based in Brighton with “their roots comfortably buried in the soil of mid-20th century rock and R&B, intertwined with lashings of surf and psychedelia – revelling in the twangy notes of spaghetti western soundtracks (see Ennio Morricone).” ... more
