Scarecrow Lyrics - Somewhere Under Wonderland - Counting Crows

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 now 

About the bedroom boys 

Udercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce 

They bang the drum, she sets the beat 

They carry Miss America out into the street 

She sings Snowman! Scarecrow! John Doe! Buffalo! 

I wish you wouldn't go 

I got the arms to reach you 

I am the scarecrow 

Oh, guess you oughta know 

I got the hands to teach you 

I am the scarecrow 

Snowman sideshow 

I fell out of love 

In the snowbound days 

Riding the subway in a Valium haze 

I need the white, she gets the blues 

It carries us on through 

All these American boys 

At the park 'n' shop 

Selling their memories fro a dollar a pop 

Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan 

Corners the market on American tastes 

And says Spaceman! Scarecrow! Peepshow! Freakshow! 

I wish you wouldn't go 

But I got the arms to reach you 

I am a scarecrow 

Oh I guess you oughta known 

That I got the hands to teach you 

I am a scarecrow 

Hmm Punk rock video 

All the sudden light inside you dies 

Maybe you're going on alone 

Maybe you're going all alone 

She dreams of sunlight, sings of smaller things 

White sugar bowls and wedding rings 

And you're going 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 

Believe in much more than we do 

It's a memory play, where the memory fades 

Into pictures you took 

Into records we played 

Spy vs. Spy, Scrarecrow and I 

Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly 

Singing Spaceman! Smokeshow! Scarecrow! Geronimo! 

I wish you wouldn't go 

I got the arms to reach you 

I am the scarecrow 

Oh, no no no no no no no 

Oh, I guess you oughta known 

That I got the hands to teach you 

I am a scarecrow 

Snowman freakshow 

Come one, come on, come on 

Oh, I wish you wouldn't go 

But I got the arms to reach you 

I am the scarecrow 

Oh, hell no 

Oh, I guess you oughta know 

That I got the hands to teach you 

I am the scarecrow 

Listen on the midnight radio radio station go!
