[Hook]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

[Verse 1]
Ten silver spoons coming after me
One life with one dream on repeat
I'll escape if I try hard enough
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff

[Pre-Chorus]
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 I wanna be

[Hook]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

[Verse 2]
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]
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 I wanna be

[Bridge]
We are the spoons, metal-ly 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 I wanna be

[Hook]
Cuckoo!

Marina Diamandis

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
