Select language to translate this lyric
Series of signals, visible marks â so wrong to assume there was light in the dark
An owl, an alley cat, a hermit crab
We say there was nothing that we couldâve done â a silent lie when we need one
Youâre brought back here to your ancestral home
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
And we saw all the signals saw all the marks â so why assume there was light in the dark?
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
And we try hard to think it was nobodyâs fault â means we donât want to be human at all
Youâre 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?
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
Shell cracked open, pearl was black
