Howl Lyrics by Olly Alexander

Palo Santo (Japanese Version)

2018

[Verse 1]
It seems, it seems mighty treacherous
A superstition leads me
Maybe, maybe it's getting dangerous
I'm counting symbols: one, two, three

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Something in the water
Is it me that's going under?
I'm shaking
Psychic kind of power
Now's the time, and now's the hour of making
Ooh

[Chorus]
So help me God
Where am I now?
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid in the future crowd)
I cut my hair
I shot them down
(I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm dreaming)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl?
(Say, can you hear me?)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl (howl)?
(Say, can you hear me howl?)

[Verse 2]
I was, I was young and untamed
Dancing like my mother
I pray, I pray we will be safe
Though we may uncover

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Something in the water
I can't help, I'm going under
Oh, save me
Psychic kind of power
It's my time, and it's my hour of making
Ooh

[Chorus]
So help me God
Where am I now?
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid in the future crowd)
I cut my hair
I shot them down
(I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm dreaming)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl?
(Say, can you hear me?)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl (howl)?
(Say, can you hear me howl?)

[Bridge]
Standing in front of the hungriest crowd
Nothing will stop me from screaming out loud
I am the wolf and the enemy now
Say, can you hear me, ooh?
Ooh, ooh
No, no, no

[Chorus]
So help me God
Where am I now?
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid in the future crowd)
I cut my hair
I shot them down
(I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm dreaming)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl?
(Say, can you hear me?)
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear me howl (howl)?
(Say, can you hear me howl?)

[Outro]
Say, can you hear me?
Say, can you hear me howl?
