[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]
