Said the cricket to the hamster you looked lonely sitting on your own so I decided to come join you because we share a cage, we share a home Said the hamster to the cricket I am fine alone, it's what I choose but the cricket was persistent she knew all the tricks and chirps to use
now I'm splitting open like a broken backpack Sometimes I'm nothing without something to laugh at But I built a hundred worlds with you Inside a sleepless cage and I'm still laughing, 'cause we've barely filled a page
Said the cricket to the hamster I am so cold, I'm always shivering She pressed her fingers to her lovers neck and in a breath removed them grinning Said the hamster to the cricket I am not of a romantic mind I am just a little rodent and all my love is of a strange, confusing kind
But if you are toppling, like a pin that's on it's tip I'll be your cushion, stick in me when you start to slip I believed my twisted thoughts would stay locked up and never find an ear But I'm running out of secrets, and it's barely been a year
and I made new secrets new secrets with you I'm sorry I bit at our edges just to find something to chew But buried behind all my in-jokes and injuries, all of my sarcasm too there is just a silly girl who's falling in love with you
said the hamster to the cricket I think sherbert is on sale today I'll bring the pixy stix and liquor if you provide us with a place to stay
