Cuckoo Cocoon Lyrics by Genesis

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

1974

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
Wrapped up in some powdered wool
I guess I'm losing touch
Don't tell me this is dying
'Cause I ain't changed that much
The only sound is water drops
I wonder where the hell I am
Some kind of jam?

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Cuckoo cocoon
Have I come to, too soon for you?

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
There's nothing I can recognize
This is nowhere that I've known
With no sign of life at all
I guess that I'm alone
And I feel so secure
That I know this can't be real
But I feel good

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
Cuckoo cocoon
Have I come to, too soon for you?

[Flute Solo]

[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
I wonder if I'm a prisoner
Locked in some Brooklyn jail
Or some sort of Jonah
Shut up inside the whale
No, I'm still Rael
And I'm stuck in some kind of cave
What could've saved me?

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
Cuckoo cocoon
Have I come to, too soon for you?

[Flute Solo]
