lyrics

you’re talking like a fool
she said she said
as though listening was the thing she did the best

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

i heard unspoken words
she said she said
disinclined is she to recognise the rest

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

you keep a cage in every room
she said she said
re-imagining bars kept inside her head

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

you watch too closely
she said she said
leaving caskets to disguise deceits she dealt

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

you begrudge my charity
she said she said
callously between one murder and the next

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

you will never set me free
she said she said
that libertine and unexpected guest

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest

you’ll forget me soon
she said she said
the strange thing is the changelings not left yet

‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest
‘round around the cuckoo flew
looking for a nest
