The Cuckoo Ifl
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my bed
and stayed there,
stretching
to fill the space
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my house
This is my space too now
Make sure
to keep it clean
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my kitchen
You should have it arranged
like this
Don't forget now
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my living room
and faced the screen, unmoving
I'm here
Ain't that enough?
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my body
You're not fertile today, why do we
have to
use a condom
Cuckoo, he cried,
as he crept into my head
Are you sure they're good people?
Watch out
they scheme, you know
Cuckoo, he cried
as he crept into my heart
I like you, he said
Let's not
rush in too fast
