Cuckoo In The Clock

Today i feel like time wins

We never had row, no we didn't

But now she refrains from walking slowly

Coz when she did i was wasted,

Snoozing her out every time she tweeted

And I never knew when she flew out of that door

And flew and kept on flying

Until that day when i got up

And i was like

What the hell is that grey thing on my head!

When her voice grew louder

From within the cuckoo

The cuckoo in the clock

I was a boy when papa got her home

Now i am old and grey

But she is still yellow and pretty

And tweets every single day

Waiting for and bowing to none

And she never loses

For she has got eternity

And what have I got?

A packet of black dye.
