Baby ballerina's hiding   Somewhere in the corner   Where the shadow wraps around her   And our torches cannot find her      She will stay there till the morning   Crawl behind us as we are yawning   And she will leave our games   To never be the same      So grow tall, sugarcane   Eat that soil, drink the rain   But know they'll chase you   If you play their little games   So run, run fast, sugarcane      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, sugarcane   Eat that soil, drink the rain   But know they'll chase you   If you play their little games   So run, run fast, sugarcane      And she said, "Always be afraid"   Yes, she said, "Always be afraid"      So grow tall, sugarcane   Eat that soil, drink the rain   But know they'll chase you   If you play their little games   So run, run fast, sugarcane      Yeah, you'd better run, run fast, sugarcane   Yeah, you'd better run, run fast sugarcane
