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 the Soil, Drink that Rain.
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games.
So run, run fast Sugar Cane.
And 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 when 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.
yeah you'd better run, run fast Sugar Cane.
And she said, "always, be afraid".
Yeah you should, "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.
