Crickets and Spiders - Full Service

When everybody’s gone

And nobody’s breathing

What’s the color «nothing»

What’s the sound of «no»

On my lawn

Critters crawl and make they’re way through dirt they scare me

Something’s wrong

Not too long

Not too long ago I hated crickets, spiders

Ants on logs

Hated bees

Hated worms I hated things that slid and hopped and slithered

Lizards, frogs

Troubled times

Troubled mind you were my anchor in this big sea

Every time

Heard a song

Heard it drivin' on my way to Minnesota

Sang along

Made me cry

Made me think about my life when you were in it

Lullaby

Once I had a thought

Made me so upset

Asked my mother things about existence and death

That’s one concern too big

Told me not to worry, «you've got so much time to live»

Held me very long

Told me «child, be strong.»
