Sugarcane - Missy Higgins

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 game

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

Yeah you better run, run fast sugarcane

And she said always be afraid

Yeah you should always be afraid…

To grow tall sugarcane

Eat that soil, drink the rain

But know they’ll chase you if you play their little game

So run, run fast sugarcane

You you better run, run fast sugarcane
