Cricket and the Genie (Movement I - The Delirium)

What the doctor said could never be forgotten

“Son don’t you know that there’s a pill for every problem

In this little magic bottle that’s filled with love.”

Well little Cricket was only three

He rubbed his magic bottle suddenly appeared a Genie

And the Genie said, “I’m the Patron Saint of Prescription Drugs

So remember when you need a hug

Just close your eyes and give your bottle a rub…rub...”

Well Cricket didn’t need many friends

Because the Genie was such a perfect companion

His mother marveled at such an independent boy

She said, “Just remember when you need a hug

To close your eyes and give your bottle a rub…rub…”

Well little Cricket was twenty three

He rubbed his plastic bottle but found the bottle was empty

(The Genie was dead)

He was suddenly such an unhappy boy

He decided that he needed some fun

Went to the store, and purchased himself a gun…
