Siouxsie and the Banshees — Cocoon

Here in my cot where my cot loves me I'll stay here a while in the cotton wool cocoon 'Til the chrysalis is ripe 'til the time is right With this feeling of insecurity I have to shrink back inside Run and hide Back in the cocoon hugging my knees Watching my insides the skinned glow-worm writhings Lying in blankets, I've been here a while Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms Against the mattress and wall The heat melts the sheets Another layer is peeled Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms Just my cot, the wallpaper and me I've been here awhile Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms Still finding charms in the memory of those constrictor arms Glowing in the dark in my luminous green A pearl beaded lizard bathed in a gossamer scent With my heat detector lip-pit pulling at the newly formed tissue Lying in blankets, I've been here awhile Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms Against the mattress and wall Waiting, waiting to loose the bandages Waiting for new appendages Lying in blankets, I've been here a while I've been here too long Banging out rhythms, listening for other tappings Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms Banging out rhythms, listening for other tappings Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms Back in the cocoon Back in the cocoon Back in the cocoon Tapping out rhythms Tapping out rhythms Tapping out rhythms
