Cuckoo Lyrics
by Cass McCombs
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!
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e72812-cass_mccombs~cuckoo_lyrics.html ]
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!”
