I'd like to have an owl on my shoulder,
To tell me what you say behind my back.
An extra pair of eyes
To help me realize when you're on the attack.
I need to find myself a familiar,
To get reacquainted with you.
Spots that I am blind in,
You are so unkind in,
I need a new view--Hoo hoo.
Oh, but I'm gonna get wise to you,
I'm gonna get wise to
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
A passion for passive aggression,
Sharpening words into blades.
My armor won't be dented until you've relented,
Please give yourself away.
Oh, but I'm gonna get wise to you,
I'm gonna get wise to
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
What'll it take to make you warm,
My lips or my scorn?
You can have them both,
But you should know...
One night I'll hold all your secrets,
Even the ones you can't stand.
Cause mystery's appealing,
But if you stop concealing,
I'll find it in my heart to love you again.
(Owl Solo)
Oh, I'm gonna get wise to you,
I'm gonna get wise to
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
I'm gonna get wise to you,
I'm gonna get wise to
You-hoo-hoo
You-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo.
