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!
