Scarecrow Lyrics

I know the Scarecrow is wasting in the field

Straw floats on the wind, stick bones revealed

The crows have grown brave, but we're terrified

The Wizard of Oz could not save this life

I've tried to help, but I have been refused

I'm sad like the tool that never gets used

I've had to accept it though it does not please me

The things you want, ain't the things I need

Pull back the curtain

Shed light on the subject

See the elephant

Start to inspect it

Tell me the truth

Do you just want to leave?

Have you had your fill?

Would it be a relief?

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no

Lately I've been crying every time the sun goes down

It lights up the mountains like a stoney crown

That weighs heavy on the head till it bruises the bone

It calls me to the road so I won't have to sleep alone

Like a parade of yesterdays pushing for tomorrow

Life walks upon a stage, a player framed in sorrow

Shadow, idiot, matters not who tells the tale

Every guttered candle is outed by the gale

Pull back the curtain

Shed light on the subject

See the elephant

Start to expect it

Tell me the truth

Do you just want to leave?

Have you had your fill?

Would it be a relief?

Tell me the truth

Do you just want to leave?

Have you had your fill?

Would it be a release?

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no

I know the Scarecrow is wasting in the field

Straw floats on the wind, stick bones revealed

The crows have grown brave, but we're terrified

The Wizard of Oz could not save this life

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no

Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
