Cocoon - Bernard Butler

I think about nearly nothing else when I’m on my own

Solitude is freezing the life from my bones

Looks like the same thing’s happening again

It’s getting strange 'round here, I don’t feel the same

If you could only see me today

Cocoon you laugh in my face

We’ve gotta learn to communicate

Get real, I will always be this way

Paint the lines in gray

So, I think about nearly nothing else, still I’m on my own

Staying in ain’t chic when you’ve got no home

Looks like this frame was made for me

You could climb across the rooftops, then you’d see

Through the burning sash, I’m free

Cocoon you laugh in my face

We’ve gotta learn to communicate

Get real, I will always be this way

Paint the lines in gray

Hey you, I’m on your case

You remind me of lovers I used to chase

Through the golden songs from a golden age

Let me love you today

So, I think about life outside this open shell

And then, any other man would think I’ve done so well

Ten years in masterpiece of gray

Then you’d get used to your presents day by day

Get used to your presents day by day

Get used to your presents day by day

Get used to your presents day by day

Get used to your presents day by day

Day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day
