Cuckoo

Song Cuckoo
Artist Cass McCombs
Album Prefection

Lyrics

Dawn in Albany
Statesmen are still asleep
The first noise heard
Through the dew: “cuckoo!”
A rattle follows
The coroner’s office glows
This is my portrait of you,
Cuckoo Cuckoo is your given name
Christened in the solitude of
Fame Ah! Friends as such!
Whose love is without touch
All four horsemen are you,
Cuckoo Like
Brughel’s
Miser in the frame
Quite literally, you’re insane
A cop-out?
So flippantly talked about
Stand up, here comes your cue… “cuckoo!”

Dawn in Albany
Statesmen are still asleep
The first noise heard
Through the dew: " cuckoo!"
A rattle follows
The coroner' s office glows
This is my portrait of you,
Cuckoo Cuckoo is your given name
Christened in the solitude of
Fame Ah! Friends as such!
Whose love is without touch
All four horsemen are you,
Cuckoo Like
Brughel' s
Miser in the frame
Quite literally, you' re insane
A copout?
So flippantly talked about
Stand up, here comes your cue " cuckoo!"
