Scarecrow

Scarecrow - Counting Crows Intro ----- verse 1 ------- Mary steers clear of the men from space Back alley kid with the American face She wants the wine, he brings a case, To carry them on through verse 2 ------- I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce, They bang the drum, she sets the beat, They carry Miss America out into the street, She sings, scarecrow, snowman, John Doe, buffalo! Chorus ------ Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, I got the hands to teach you, I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) Snowman sideshow (Do Do Do Do Do) verse 3 ------- I fell out of love in the snow bound days Riding the subway in a valium haze I need the whites, she gets the blues It carries us on through verse 4 -------- All these American boys in the park n' shop Selling their memories for a dollar a pop Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan Corners the market on American tastes And says, spaceman, scarecrow, peepshow, freakshow! Chorus ------ Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, I got the hands to teach you, I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) Punk rock video (Do Do Do Do Do) Bridge ------ 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 You're going on from me alone You're going on, you're on your own Verse 5 ------- 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 Verse 6 ------- It's a memory play where the memory fades Into pictures we took into records we played Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly Singing spaceman, smokeshow, scarecrow, geronimo! Chorus ------ Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, I got the arms to reach you I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, I got the hands to teach you, I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) Snowman freakshow! (Do Do Do Do Do) Oh!
