(Verse)
|
Mary steers clear of the men from space
|
Back alley kid with an American face
|
She wants the wine, he brings a case
|
To carry them on through
|
I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys
|
And the undercover russians in a pink Rolls Royce
|
They bang the drum, she sets the beat
|
They carry Miss America outta the street
|
She sings snowman, scarecrow, John Doe, buffalo
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you
|
I am a scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop, dup dup, doo roo roop do
|
Oh, I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach you
|
I am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Snowman, sideshow, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
|
(Verse 2)
|
I fell out of love in the snowbound days
|
Riding the subway in a Valium haze
|
I need the whites, she gets the blues it carries us on through
|
All these American boys at the park and shop
|
Selling their memories for a dollar a pop
|
Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan
|
Corners the market on American taste
|
And says spaceman, scarecrow, peepshow, freak show
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you
|
I am the scarecrow
|
Dup dup, doo roo roop, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Oh I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach you
|
I am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Punk rock video dup dup, doo roo roop
|
|
(Verse 3)
|
All the sudden light inside you dies, maybe you're going on alone
|
Maybe you go it all alone, she dreams of sunlight
|
Sings of smaller things
|
White sugar bowls and wedding rings and you go on from me alone
|
You're going on, you're on your own
|
She was married alive in a Moscow surgery
|
Hoping to die in a Cold War nursery
|
All of the kids back home believin' much more than we do
|
It's a memory play where the memory fades
|
And the pictures you took into records we played
|
Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I
|
Out across the darkness where the bomberjets fly, singing
|
Spaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, geronimo
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you
|
I am the scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Oh I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach you
|
I am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Snowman, freak show, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Come on, come on, come on!
|
Oh, I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you
|
I am the scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Oh, scarecrow, dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Oh, I guess you ought to know, I got the hands to teach you
|
I am the scarecrow dup dup, doo roo roop
|
Listen on the midnight radio dup dup, doo roo roop
|
