Do you like it when it's quiet?

lyrics

Crickets

Tonight's presentation is going awry.
Those in attendance are starting to shy.
Clearly soliliquy hasn't a prayer.
Stridulation is claiming the air.

Had a hand in setting paper to the flame.
All the little rules we'd written for the game.
Ashes scatter and it's hard to hide the shame.
Skewer culpability and pass the blame.

Teeth to my words, mangle them up,
Redistribute them, to fit any cup.

Riding the nettles of the overkill,
Red in the face, the awkward torrents spill.
Silence the room and hear the crickets trill.
(You like it when it's quiet? I like it when it's quiet)
Greasy the fingers of the confidant,
Spirit of amity is left to haunt.
Silence the room and hear the crickets' taunt.
(Why do you like it better when it's quiet?)

Making enemies with breath that you contend.
Tread the boards until there's nothing left to mend.
Gesture differs from the standard by a hair.
Reaching climax from this total disrepair.

Teeth to my words, mangle them up,
Redistribute them, to fit any cup.

Riding the nettles of the overkill,
Red in the face, the awkward torrents spill.
Silence the room and hear the crickets trill.
(You like it when it's quiet? I like it when it's quiet)
Greasy the fingers of the confidant,
Spirit of amity is left to haunt.
Silence the room and hear the crickets' taunt.
(Why do you like it better when it's quiet?)

*Doctor patient conversation*

Riding the nettles of the overkill,
Red in the face, the awkward torrents spill.
Silence the room and hear the crickets trill.
(You like it when it's quiet? I like it when it's quiet)
Greasy the fingers of the confidant,
Spirit of amity is left to haunt.
Silence the room and hear the crickets' taunt.
(Why do you like it better when it's quiet? I like it when it's quiet...)
