When Scorpions Come Out

When Scorpions Come Out Scorpions chase me in my head Across continents, through rain forests black Large and small bodies, brown appendages attack Wear red bandanas around their necks for luck They carry knives, pop tunes and sing Like Madonna and dance like Brittany Spears That scares me half to death Scorpions have USA etched on their heads It is not the poisoned stingers that frighten me But the singing and dancing and perhaps their bite Red bandanas are not my favorite either When scorpions come out at night
