RUNAWAY CRICKET
The Animated Musical
Stood at the edge of tragedy Ran fierce into the night I let the shadows shelter me 'Til I could step into the light Called it a home what a joke For such family such a price Kick, punch, belt, or a choke Beating hearts as cold as ice Now I’ll give you some sunshine if you give me your time I’ll sing you a good song if you spare me a dime Give me a rhythm I’ll give you a rhyme I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime Safe travels since I have no choice Let the roads be my school of life Hear the message in my voice Read a book but pack a knife I walk where the sun shines down I am free and I can fly so high I'll always survive 'cause I have a song Come listen to me come by and buy I’ll give you some sunshine if you give me your time I’ll sing you a good song won’t you give me a dime You give me a rhythm I’ll give you a rhyme I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime She's just another runaway Out there there's no room for fear As Cricket strolls down Walks down the alleyway She'd rather hustle than shed a tear Looking at the still bright sea I feel my heart open wide Night creeps back into oblivion And everyone glows under the light I’ll give you some sunshine if you give me your time I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime You give me a rhythm I’ll give you a rhyme I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime I’ll give you some sunshine if you give me your time I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime Give me a rhythm I’ll give you a rhyme I’ll give you a good song if you give me a dime If you give me a dime A working day for a detective Collect a clue and solve a crime Save a life, release a captive I am a lawman in my prime Here comes Detective Camille She is striking in every way The city’s finest, top of her class She'll always catch her prey 'cause she’s a true Crime Baby She’s a true Crime Baby True Crime Baby Live once upon a time It's all about your choices Go running West or South Anybody join forces Decide

your rights and wrongs Here comes Detective Camille She is striking in every way The city’s finest, a cop with class She’ll always catch her prey ‘cause She’s a true Crime Baby She’s a true Crime Baby True Crime Baby True Crime I feel the rain on my face Today Run, stroll is my pace Tuesday Found a new place Monday Sunny all day Sunday Jumped on a train, I should go Somewhere Something to gain, there is more Out there The clouds above me are too low And bare It's a beautiful day don't you know Fair fare Slept on a bench at the park Wednesday Sat on the grass looking stark Friday Dogs run around me and bark Saturday Gotta stay outside after dark Tonight Jumped on a train, I should go Somewhere Something to gain, there is more Out there The clouds above me are too low And bare It's a
