Lyrics

Baby ballerina's hiding somewhere in the corner
Where the shadow wraps around her
And our torches cannot find her
She will stay there 'til the morning
Crawl behind us as we are yawning
And she will leave our games to never be the same

So grow tall sugar cane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast sugar cane

You see my peep show booth is handy
There's a one way only mirror
So I can dance here with my hair down
But I don't see if you get bitter
And there's a button right beside me
If I happen to want a wall to hide me
If only the ballerina had one too

So grow tall sugar cane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast sugar cane
And she said, "always, be afraid"
Yeah she said, "always, be afraid"

To grow tall sugar cane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast sugar cane
Yeah you'd better run, run fast sugar cane
Yeah you'd better run, run fast sugar cane
