"Cuckoo Clock" is the second song on Melanie's fourth studio album, Gummies. It was also released as a single.
Theme[]
This song is about Cry Baby being confused and frustrated over the fact that Sophia's father isn't over their relationship yet, when she got over it a long time ago, and that he hated Sophia enough to try to kill her.
Lyrics[]
When we split up both my feet were firmly on the ground
While you were lost in space, floating around
Stuck up on a mountaintop
Not knowing how to come down
Yeah you were fucked up all along
Or why would I be writing this song
Sitting on my couch
Wondering what went wrong
But now I see it
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
When the clock strikes twelve
I hope you have fun getting yourself in danger
I should've never tried to flirt with that kind stranger
The stranger became a father
Of a daughter he never wanted
And what do you do with things you don't want?
You leave them to die-ie-ie...
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
When the clock strikes twelve
Sometimes a beautiful thing comes from a mistake
Well, for your parents, that wasn't the case
Sometimes a you become a righter person from doing something wrong
Or you start shaping more and more into who you are
Into who you are...
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
Well you're cuckoo
When the clock strikes twelve
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
