Missy Higgins - On A Clear Night (2007) - Sugar Cane lyrics

  • 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
