Cocoon Lyrics - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Here in my cot where my cot loves me 

I'll stay here a while in the cotton wool cocoon 

Till the Chrysalis is ripe, till 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

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

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

Listen for other tappings banging out rhythms 

Banging out rhythms, banging out rhythms 

Listen for other tappings banging out rhythms 

Banging out rhythms 

Tapping out rhythms, tapping out rhythms 

Tapping out rhythms
