Crickets (Missy Armstrong)

Crickets

I hope you like the sound of crickets
I hope you like the sound of crickets
Cause if you’re calling me my dear
That’s all that you’re gonna hear
I hope you like the sound of crickets

You’ve been a ringing my phone off the hook
Anxiously awaiting my reply
Just because my number’s in the book
Don’t mean I’m gonna listen to you lie

I hope you like the sound of crickets
I hope you like the sound of crickets
Cause if you’re calling me my dear
That’s all that you’re gonna hear
I hope you like the sound of crickets

I got your message through the Pigeon Post
And I saw the signal you sent up in smoke
No matter how you banter and boast
I won’t be the punchline to your joke

I hope you like the sound of crickets
I hope you like the sound of crickets
Cause if you’re calling me my dear
That’s all that you’re gonna hear
I hope you like the sound of crickets

I heard you rambling on my code-a-phone
And Western Union brought your telegram
It’s crazy what you think I might condone
What kind of fool do you think I am

I hope you like the sound of crickets
I hope you like the sound of crickets
Cause if you’re calling me my dear
That’s all that you’re gonna hear
I hope you like the sound of crickets
