The cuckoo sleeps, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks
Clears away the vicious and violent heat
Breathe deep, breathe long and hard 
Kiss and caress the hands that feed
Love me primitive, betray my lips
And the treacherous heart, the savage breed

Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears
And the tinselling flesh melts away
The scars and fears that the shameless years
Leave laughing and dancing
On a wasted and tattered dream
Cry hollow tears, stifle the tortured kiss and scream

Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

The cuckoo sleeps, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks 
Clears away the vicious and violent heat
Breathe deep, breathe long and hard 
Kiss and caress the hands that feed
Love me primitive, betray my lips
And the treacherous heart, the savage breed
 
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Kiss the heavens where the angels tread
Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
And in the crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

Savage, savage, savage, savage
