The cuckoo sleeps, hungry and wild and crawling Through the storm that breaks Clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hands that feed Love me primitive, betray my lips And the treacherous heart, the savage breed
Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears And the tinselling flesh melts away The scars and fears that the shameless years Leave laughing and dancing On a wasted and tattered dream Cry hollow tears, stifle the totured kiss and scream
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage
The cuckoo sleeps, hungry and wild and crawling Through the storm that breaks Clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hands that feed Love me primitive, betray my lips And the treacherous heart, the savage breed
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage
Tarnish, taint and punish me softly Kiss the heavens where the angels tread Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage
