[00:26.29]Mary steers clear of the men from space
[00:28.95]Back alley kid with an American face
[00:31.64]She wants the wine, he brings a case
[00:35.21]To carry them on through
[00:38.03]I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys
[00:41.66]Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce
[00:44.35]They bang the drum, she sets the beat
[00:48.05]They carry Miss America out into the street
[00:50.70]She sings, "snowman, scarecrow, john doe, buffalo"
[00:56.16]I wish you wouldn't go
[00:57.90]I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow
[01:01.59]Do do, do do do, do do, do do do
[01:07.86]Oh, I guess you ought to know
[01:10.58]I got the hands to teach you
[01:13.37]I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do
[01:16.02]Snowman sideshow, do do, do do do
[01:20.52]I fell out of love in the snowbound days
[01:23.27]Riding the subway in a Valium haze
[01:26.86]I need the whites, she gets the blues
[01:29.54]It carries us on through
[01:33.16]All these American boys at the Park N Shop
[01:35.91]Selling their memories for a dollar a pop
[01:39.56]Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan
[01:42.28]Corners the market on American taste
[01:44.96]And says, "spaceman, scarecrow, peep show, freak show"
[01:50.35]I wish you wouldn't go
[01:52.23]I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow
[01:56.74]Do do, do do do, do do, do do do

[02:07.54]I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do
[02:11.20]Punk rock video, do do, do do do
[02:18.34]All the sudden the light inside you dies
[02:22.99]Maybe you're going on alone
[02:26.51]Maybe you're going all alone
[02:29.26]She dreams of sunlight, sings of smaller things
[02:32.85]White sugar bowls and wedding rings
[02:36.56]You're going on from me alone
[02:39.23]You're going on, you're on your own
[02:43.75]She was married alive in a Moscow surgery
[02:46.43]Hoping to die in a cold war nursery
[02:50.02]All of the kids back home believe in much more than we do
[02:55.54]It's a memory play where the memory fades
[02:59.10]Into pictures you took, into records we played
[03:01.80]Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I
[03:05.41]Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly
[03:09.02]Singing, "spaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, Geronimo"
[03:13.53]I wish you wouldn't go
[03:15.39]I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow
[03:19.98]Do do, do do do, do do, do do do
[03:25.37]Oh, I guess you ought to know
[03:28.05]I got the hands to teach you
[03:30.70]I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do
[03:34.33]Snowman peepshow, do do, do do do
[03:38.94]I wish you wouldn't go
[03:40.76]I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow
