Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
Wonder if I'm a prisoner
Locked in some Brooklyn jail
Or some sort of Jonah
Shut up inside the whale
[Verse 6]
No, I'm still Rael
And I'm stuck in some kind of cave
What could have saved me?
Cuckoo cocoon, have I come to too soon for you?
Written by: Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks
