Cuckoo Cocoon Lyrics by Genesis

Cuckoo Cocoon Lyrics

    Rael regains consciousness in some musky half-light. he is warmly wrapped in some sort of cocoon. the only sound he can hear is dripping water which appears to be the source of a pale flickering
    T. he guesses he must be in some sort of cave - or kooky tomb, or catacomb, or eggshell waiting to drop from the bone of the womb.


    Wrapped up in some powdered wool - i guess i'm losing touch.
    Don't tell me this is dying, 'cos i ain't changed that much.
    The only sound is water drops, i wonder where the hell i am,
    Some kind of jam?
    Cuckoo cocoon have i come to, too soon for you?

    There's nothing i can recognise; 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.
    Cuckoo cocoon have i come to, too soon for you?

    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?
    Cuckoo cocoon have i come to, too soon for you?


    Resigning himself to the unknown he drifts off into sleep.
