Jimmy Stanley - Crickets Lyrics

I know what they're thinking
Well, at least, my fear does
When I'm slinking away with my tail between my legs to Connecticut
I stand in the still yard like a scarecrow at night
I squint through the ambient light from the city a stone's throw away
My attempt at escape is a partial reprieve
Like the night from the light of the day
Not even a choir of crickets in my head could ever make me forget
Life throws ambience but it returns tenfold in renunciate
And when I'm lost as I have been before and I'm certain that I will be again
I take the time to find a way to tune out all the crickets in my head
'Cause don't you know there's nowhere to go
You can't look out until you face yourself
You fight an orchestra to get in a word
When all you want is to be heard
Yeah crickets, crickets in my head when I go to bed
Oh, when they finally chirp themselves to death what will be left?
Yeah they strapped me to a cart and pushed me down a hill, and it took all my will power
To fall with still some grace, and try to forge a way, to pick the path I take
Oh crickets, crickets in my head when I go to bed
Yeah crickets, crickets sing so loud I can't hear anything else
Yeah crickets, crickets in my head when I go to bed
Yeah crickets, crickets in my heart when I have to start again
