The Owl of Minerva

[Verse 1]
Close up the window and pull down the shades
Turn and lie back on your bed
Take all the sheets and the blankets in hand
Pull them up over your head

[Chorus]
Cause nobody knows when the owl of Minerva
Will spread it's four wings and take flight
Nobody knows, but it's said that the owl of Minerva
Flies only at night

[Verse 2]
All the day long and then all through the night
We do the [?] waltz
We can't decide on what virtues it has
But we're quite aware of it's faults

[Chorus]
And nobody knows when the owl of Minerva
Will spread it's four wings and take flight
Nobody knows, but it's said that the owl of Minerva
Flies only at night

[Verse 3]
If we arrive at the top of the stairs
If we avoid the big fall
There might be something awaiting up there
And there might be nothing at all

[Chorus]
And nobody knows when the owl of Minerva
Will spread it's four wings and take flight
Nobody knows, but it's said that the owl of Minerva
Flies only at night
