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 flickeringT. 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 Im losing touch.Dont tell me this is dying, cos I aint 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?Theres nothing I can recognise; this is nowhere that Ive known.With no sign of life at all, I guess that Im alone,And I feel so secure that I know this cant be realBut I feel good.Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?I wonder if Im a prisoner locked in some brooklyn jail- or some sort of jonah shut up inside the whale.No - Im still rael and Im stuck in some kind of cave.What couldve saved me?Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?Resigning himself to the unknown he drifts off into sleep.
