MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
"Mowgli's Road"
(Marina Diamandis / Liam Howe)

[Refrain:]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

Ten silver spoons coming after me
One life with one dream on repeat
I'll escape if I try hard enough
'Til King of the Jungle calls my bluff

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
I have been told (I have been told)
That I must take the unforsaken road (Forsaken road)

[Chorus:]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh I wanna to be

[Refrain:]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love others and to be loved?

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
Now I can see (Now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me (Forsaken road)

[Chorus:]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh I wanna be

[Bridge:]
We are the spoons, metally mean
We scooped our way into your dreams
To knock the knives out bloody cold
And lead you down the unforsaken road (Forsaken road)

[Chorus:]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna be
Cuckoo!
