Counting Crows - Scarecrow Lyrics
(Verse)Mary steers clear of the men from spaceBack alley kid with an American faceShe wants the wine, he brings a caseTo carry them on throughI said you know what I know about the bedroom boysAnd the undercover russians in a pink Rolls RoyceThey bang the drum, she sets the beatThey carry Miss America outta the streetShe sings snowman, scarecrow, John Doe, buffalo(Chorus)I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach youI am a scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop, dup dup, doo roo roop doOh, I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach youI am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roopSnowman, sideshow, dup dup, doo roo roop(Verse 2)I fell out of love in the snowbound daysRiding the subway in a Valium hazeI need the whites, she gets the blues it carries us on throughAll these American boys at the park and shopSelling their memories for a dollar a popIvan the ancient spaceman race fanCorners the market on American tasteAnd says spaceman, scarecrow, peepshow, freak show(Chorus)I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach youI am the scarecrowDup dup, doo roo roop, dup dup, doo roo roopOh I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach youI am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roopPunk rock video dup dup, doo roo roop(Verse 3)All the sudden light inside you dies, maybe you're going on aloneMaybe you go it all alone, she dreams of sunlightSings of smaller thingsWhite sugar bowls and wedding rings and you go on from me aloneYou're going on, you're on your ownShe was married alive in a Moscow surgeryHoping to die in a Cold War nurseryAll of the kids back home believin' much more than we doIt's a memory play where the memory fadesAnd the pictures you took into records we playedSpy versus spy, scarecrow and IOut across the darkness where the bomberjets fly, singingSpaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, geronimo(Chorus)I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach youI am the scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roopDup dup, doo roo roopOh I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach youI am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roopSnowman, freak show, dup dup, doo roo roopCome on, come on, come on!Oh, I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach youI am the scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roopDup dup, doo roo roopOh, scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roopOh, I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach youI am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roopListen on the midnight radio dup dup, doo roo roop
