Cocoon
As long as you’re in my cocoon,
You’re perfect,
You’re anything I want you to be,
Untouched by human hand,
Unpolluted,
You’re everything,
Everything I want you to be,Separate from the world outside,
My imagination runs wild,
No-one else can find you,
You must not be defined,
It’s better if I keep it to myself,
That way no-one gets hurt,
That way no-one gets hurt,As long as you’re in my cocoon,
I can name you anything,
Your wit and wisdom are limitless,
The few words I’ve heard you say,
Sound like poetry to me,
“£3.80 please”,
Unique to you and me,Separate from the world outside,
My imagination runs wild,
No-one else must find you,
You must not be defiled,
It’s better if I keep it to myself,
That way no-one gets hurt,
That way no-one gets hurt,When I saw you in another context,
It was such a surprise,
To find you exist outside of my mind,
But I want to keep you in the cocoon,
Wrapped in cotton wool,
Where they cannot hurt you,
Keep you in an aseptic world,Put you on a pedestal,
From where you mustn’t ever fall,
Keep you in a cushioned cage,
Believe me it’s safer that way,
Believe me it’s safer that way,
Safer that way,
Williams, 2001. First released on CD An Introduction To The Psychotic Reaction. A new improved version features on Rumble (2000), along with an alternate version as the hidden track.
