I'm a Cuckoo

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm glad to see you

I had a funny dream

You were wearing funny shoes

You were going to a dance

You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember

Glad to see you

I'm outside the house

I'm not thinking right today

I've got no energy

I'm glad that you were waiting with me

Tell me all about your day

Breaking off is misery

I see a wilderness for you and me

Punctuated by philosophy

I'm wondering how things could've been

I'm happy for you

You've made it hard for me

I counted on your company

You were staying with your friends tonight

I'm feeling sorry for myself

I keep taking everything to be a sign

I'm happy for you

Now I know this hurt is poison

Too sharp to be bled

I'm sitting on my empty bed

I'm on my empty bed

At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

I'd rather be in Tokyo

I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh

Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku

There's something wrong with me

I'm a cuckoo

Scary moment, lovin' every moment

I was high from playing shows

We lost a singer to her clothes

My trouble raised its ugly head

I was revealed

And I was home in bed

I was a kid again

Jesus told me 'go after every coin like it was the last in the world

And protect the wayward child'

But I'm a little lost sheep

I need my Bo peep

I know I need my shepherd here tonight

Breaking off is misery

I see a wildness for you and me

Punctuated by philosophy

I'm wondering how things could've been

I'd like to see you

But really I should stay away

And let you settle down

I've got no claims to your crown

I was the boss of you

And I loved you

You know I loved you

It's all over now

And I was there for you

When you were lonely

I was there when you were bad

I was there when you were sad

Now it's my time of need

I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

I'd rather be in Tokyo

I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh

Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku

There's something wrong with me

I'm a cuckoo
