lirik lagu joe stamm - cricket song
[verse 1]
a scream cuts through a window screen
and melts into the hot night air
that’s sneakin’ into a room
where the sweat mats down a woman’s hair
and tears run down the midwife’s cheeks
as she lays a silent ball of pink
down into that woman’s arms
and the world stands still in a mama’s grief
[chorus]
and the cricket sings a melody
pullin’ a rusty bow across his wings
let it drive you mad or sing along
but there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
for a cricket song
[verse 2]
sun cuts through the stained glass
red and blue and yellow green
illuminates a frightened man
and a woman in a manger scene
and the preacher quotes the scripture book
and turns and asks the man to his left
if he’ll make a promise unto death
and the church goes still with bated breath
[chorus]
and the cricket sings a melody
pullin’ a rusty bow across his wings
let it drive you mad or sing along
but there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
for a cricket song
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
thin cut of moon hangs up in
the corner of a window frame
lookin’ in on a pile of skin
shriveled underneath a cotton sheet
and her breath drags, like 80 grit
sandpaper across concrete
and there’s a little more of that still night air
stretched out between each heartbeat
[chorus]
and the cricket sings a melody
pullin’ a rusty bow across his wings
let it drive you mad or sing along
but there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
no, there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
and the cricket sings a melody
pullin’ a rusty bow across his wings
let it drive you mad or sing along
but there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
no, there ain’t no ceremony too sacred
for a cricket song
[instrumental outro]
