Series of signals, visible marks
So wrong to assume there was light in the dark
An owl, an alley cat, a hermit crab
And we say there was nothing that we could've done
A silent lie when we need one
You're brought back here to your ancestral home
So go on tell me, I really want to know,
Through the sunlight, through the snow
Yes, tell me now, did you do it according to plans?
And who would start believing
In this too late hour
I lay my flower, I hide my dirty face
And whom did I know?
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
And we saw all the signals saw all the marks
So why assume there was light in the dark?
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
And we try hard to think it was nobody's fault
Means we don't want to be human at all
You're brought back here along with the things you owned
So go on tell me, I really want to know,
Through the sunlight, through the snow
Tell me now, was it in the heat of the moment?
And who would start believing
In this too late hour
I lay my flower, I hide my dirty face
And whom did i know?
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
The sea within
Becomes the sea within
The sea within you
Becomes the sea within
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
An owl, a hermit crab, an alley cat
