 G                       Em                                G        
Baby ballerina's hiding somewhere in the corner, where the shadows 
                        Em
wrap around her and our torches cannot find her, 
         G                                 Em
she will stay there 'til the morning,crawl behind us as we are 
                  G                  D            G
yawning, she will leave our games to never be the same. 

chorus
  Em    C    D      G
So grow tall sugar cane. 
 Em     C      D        G
Eat the soil, drink the rain. 
   Em            C                D                 G
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games. 
   Em       C    D     G
So run, run fast sugar cane. 

  G                                            Em
You see my peep show booth is handy. There's a one way only mirror, 
         G                                         Em
so I can dance here with my hair down, but i don't see if you get 
                      G                                    Em
bitter. And there's a button right beside me if i happen to want a 
                   G          D               G
wall to hide me,if only the ballerina had one too. 

chorus
          G               D
And she said, "always, be afraid". 
              G            D
And she said, "always, be afraid".

  Em     C    D       G
To grow tall sugar cane. 
Em        C    D         G
Eat that soil, drink the rain. 
   Em            C                D                 G
But know they'll chase you if you play their little games.

So run, run fast sugar cane.
