Invisibe Touch is right. Collins, like a lot of artists, would work on a tune first and write words to fit as he went along. He just never came up with anything better to replace "Sussudio" with.
I refer to any song with bizarre lyrics now as suffering from "Sussudio Syndrome". (You know the type. Sometimes when you understand why they wrote the song it makes sense, and other times the symbolism in the songs only makes sense to the one who wrote it.)
