Cricket

"I know you're hungry

But we both know there's nothing

No milk or honey

To feed us today

My wiggle worm

In an 'S' shape

​

Dust bowl

Cradle

Barren

Unstable

​

She starved her body

She starved her child

Without ever knowing

Just what was inside

Cricket are you in there?...

Cricket are you in there?...

​

Dust bowl

Cradle

Barren

Unstable

Dust bowl

Cradle

Barren

But not woeful

​

She starved her body

She starved her child

Without ever knowing

Just what was inside

​

She starved her body

She starved her child

Without ever knowing

Just what was inside

Cricket are you in there?...

Cricket are you in there?...

​

I know you're hungry

But we both know there's nothing

No milk or honey

To feed us today

My wiggle worm

In an 'S' shape"
