Caribou and Cake Lyrics by Scarling

So Long, Scarecrow

2005

[Verse 1]
You're Klaus Nomi, I'm Etta James
No need to worry, I'm just bad with names
No need to tell her, yeah, yeah
No need to tell her, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
She's Cinderella, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
The candles are blown out
Baby, at the party in your head
You're making me so nervous
From all the things you've said
You should close your eyes
Honey, let the moments melt away
Jesus loves your mouth
Sugar, just not the things you say
[Verse 2]
You're caribou, I'm cake
It got so heavy, thought the ground would shake
Come closer, darling, yeah, yeah
Come closer, darling, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You're no Prince Charming, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
The candles are blown out
Baby, at the party in your head
You're making me so nervous
From all the things you've said
You should close your eyes
Honey, let the moments melt away
Jesus loves your mouth
Sugar, just not the things you say
[Interlude]
Oh
[Verse 3]
I'm Kentucky, you're Queens
Two nasty tantrums, one twice as mean
And when you tell him, yeah, yeah
Burn down the kingdom, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
The candles are blown out
Baby, at the party in your head
You're making me so nervous
From all the things you've said
You should close your eyes
Honey, let the moments melt away
Jesus loves your mouth
Sugar, just not the things you say (Yeah, yeah)
