"I'm A Nocturnal Animal" lyrics

Mr. Greg & Cass McCombs Lyrics

"I'm A Nocturnal Animal"

I'm a nocturnal animal
I sleep all day
At night I take flight
To hunt for prey

Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Yeah, I make that sound
And I can spin my head
Nearly all the way around

O-W-L
An owl, that's me
You might find me in a barn
Or perched in a tree

Barn, horned, snowy, elf
Yes, we're birds of a feather
We fly silently
And our brains are clever

Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Yeah, I make that sound
And I eat little critters
Off the forest ground

I've got super night vision
When the sky goes black
To help locate my
Midnight snack

Those little birdies and rats
Find it a challenge
To break free from
The clasp of my talons

Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Are the words that I speak
Now read my lips
I mean, read my beak

Here's the story of my diet
This is how I tell it
You can see what I've eaten
In my owl pellet
The things I can't digest
On my dinner plate
Are the contents of the pellets
I regurgitate

Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Yeah, I make that sound
Owl pellets are where
The fur and bones are found

Of the prey that I caught
On the forest floor
So watch out little rodents
Cause I'm coming for more

I'm a nocturnal animal
I sleep all day
At night I take flight
To hunt for prey

Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Hoot hoot hoot hoot
Hoot hoot
