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 game to never be the same

So grow tall, sugarcane
Eat the 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 the 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 the soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast sugarcane
You better run, run fast sugarcane
