Staring in the face of condemnation
Laughter fills the sky instead of rain

Live my life alone in resignation
Arms outstretched for those who cannot see

Scarecrow

Crucified and left in isolation
Pictures of our lost morality

Scarecrow

Eyeless stares invite this whole damnation
Rotting corpse of inhumanity

Scarecrow

The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere.
He didn't care.
He stood in a field where barley grows.
His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move except then the wind cut up
Rough and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows.
The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind - he doesn't mind.
He stood in a field where barley grows.

Oh scarecrow
You know why I'm asleep?
All the weight you bear you cannot carry
You know you're just like you're mother
And your bag all packed to go
And you hid your heart from everyone you know
You say you'd never love another
Unless they bore your own name
Oh your kin, they trample on you just the same

Oh I gave my love to a harlot I'm told
And the blackness of a scarecrow no one knows
well I'm red in the blood that I have drained
That I wasted in a rain

Well your love that takes your picture
And your love that worships
Well if you can't see it then soon you will
And you frequent the same stripclub
You love to watch the ladies dance
Well you always know I don't do shit like that
While I was out in Scotland
You were out with him
And you took your shot and you threw up your limbs

Oh I gave my love to a harlot I'm told
And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot hold
well I'm red in the blood that I have drained
That I wasted in a rain

Well you deserve applause for splitting me into
Well I count you on the list of a mortal few
Well I hope that you were happy
I could only wish you the best
But your beauty vacant setting in the west
And this may just say redundant because you've chosen your own fate
Was I more to you than just a pretty face

Well I'll give my love to a harlot I will
And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot kill
well I'm red in the blood that I have drained
That I wasted waiting for rain

The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere.
He didn't care.
He stood in a field where barley grows.

His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move except when the wind cut up
Rough and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows.

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
cause life's not unkind - he doesn't mind.
He stood in a field where barley grows.

Scarecrow (Espantapájaros)

El negro y verde espantapájaros
Que todo el mundo conoce
Estaba de pie con un pájaro en su sombrero
Y lleno de paja por todos los lados
A él no le preocupaba...
Estaba en un campo donde la cebada crecía
Su cabeza no pensaba, sus brazos no se movían
Excepto cuando el viento le sacudía violentamente
Y un ratón corría por el suelo
Estaba en un campo donde la cebada crecía
El negro y verde espantapájaros está más triste que yo
Pero ahora él se ha resignado a su destino
Porque la vida no es cruel
A él no le importa
Estaba en un campo donde la cebada crecía

Ninety four degrees as far as the eye can see
Corn is blowing in the wind
Seven days a week out here in this heat
A gentle rain my only friend

Sometimes when the sun goes down
The moon is full the stars come out I look out across this land
I'm proud of what I do but I bet I'm a lot like you
I want to be more than who I am

One of these days I'm gonna run
I'm gonna leave these fields behind to find what's over the horizon
One of these days I'm gonna go
When you look at me you're not gonna see
A scarecrow

It's a simple life I lead not much out here to bother me
Just an occasional stubborn crow
I should be satisfied or so it seems I got lots of time to dream
About all I'm gonna do when I turn down this road

One of these days I'm gonna run
I'm gonna leave these fields behind to find what's over the horizon
One of these days I'm gonna go
When you look at me you're not gonna see
A scarecrow

One of these days I'm gonna run
I'm gonna leave these fields behind to find what's over the horizon
One of these days I'm gonna go
And when you look at me you're not gonna see
A scarecrow
Just a scarecrow
Just a scarecrow

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation calling up a flood
Of narrow minds who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

This was our brother
This was our son
This shepherd young and mild
This unassuming one
We all gasp this can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate
Mother's neglect
I can forgive But I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Rising above all in the name of love

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation calling up a flood
Of narrow minds who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

This was our brother
This was our son
This shepherd young and mild
This unassuming one
We all gasp this can't happen here
We're all much too civilized

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate
Mother's neglect
I can forgive But I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Rising above all in the name of love

Hanging on this post
In my dirty clothes
Try to concentrate on You
But I keep forgetting

Safe enough to not let go
Scared enough to not release
Open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when you come in

Take me down, shake me out
Give me a brain, that I might know You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a brain, that I might know You better

Hanging in the sun
Waiting for the rain
Saw a field catch on fire
I caught myself just watching

Safe enough to not let go
Scared enough to not release
Open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when you come in

Take me down, shake me out
Give me a heart, that I might love You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a heart, that I might love You better

Hanging on a post
Just next to Yours
I want to curse and spit
I weep aloud at Your mercy

Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Make a wish when your childhood dies
Here the knock knock knock when she cries
We're all alone tonight

Hold your breath when a blackbird flies
Count to 17 and close your eyes
I'll keep you safe inside

He burns my skin
Nevermind about the shape I'm in
I´ll keep you safe tonight

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Blow a kiss at the methane skies
See the rust through your playground eyes
We're all in love tonight

Leave a dream where a fallout lies
Watch it grow where the tearstain dries
To keep you safe tonight

He burns my skin
Nevermind about the shape I'm in
I´ll keep you safe tonight

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Love love love won't stop this
Bomb, bomb love won't stop this
Bomb, bomb love won't stop this bomb

Run, run, bunny, run
Run, run, bunny, RUN

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
Everybody hide

Move your body when the sunlight dies
Everybody hide your body from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W

I am the everything the all knowing
The omnipotent one
I watch the fields I do not feel
I circumnavigate everyone
I am the scarecrow, alone and disconnected
You stare right past me undetected
I am only here when you expect it
And feel a sadness undescribable
I hange here motionless holding a bible
No revival
I died and became apathy
Then married vacancy
Then moved my children to the tundra of complacency
I do not exist in your world
I've burned the bridges, I've cut the life line
Now all I have left is my mind
Which judges all of you
Analyzes your dumb philosophies
Inwonderment of how you all have ruined your ecology
But you do not hear for I am to you only but nothingness
And I can't understand why I'm the only one that feels like this
It's all piss, I flee
Out of all the people that have left me
The one I miss most, is me

I am the scarecrow and I am so alone

And I've seen thirty years of down time
The face of a clown, a stick for a spine
From a grandiose small town mind
And crows fly all around mine
They shit on my shoulder
I got no voice, no mobility
I get older, heated but colder
No yield in my field, fuck my opinion
I stare at your houses in the distance
Silent persistence at night windows glisten
I got nothing to say cause no one would listen anyway
So I remain against the grain
I've seen sunny days with rain
Busted knuckles and pain and never complained
Dirt is my domain, my view is plain
But I'm invisible, sound mystical
Not really, the days are dry the evening chilly
The only one who understands is little Billy when he's lonely
Make me feel something, make me worth a damn
Make me new again, make me a fuckin' man

Seen the rise and fall the high and low the come and go
And if you knew what I know, sometimes one does not reap what he sews
The wind blows, the moon glows the water flows
The rain turns to snow, and the ground is froze
And only God knows why that's the way it goes

I am the scarecrow and I am so alone

I'm walkin to the other side
With the devil tryin to take my mind
And my soul's just a silhouette
In the ashes of a cigarette

Illusions never fake their lies
Trick cards fool the eye
Carry zeros over till they add up
Bury tears in the chapters you shut
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
And the rain's too plain to tell
All alone by a barren well
The scarecrow's only scarin himself

I've been diggin the ground
Thru the dust and the clouds
I see miles and miles
And the junkyard piles
I wanted hope from a grave
I wanted strength from a slave
What gives you comfort now
Might be the end of you then
Crows are pullin at my clothes
The wind got my fingers froze
Standing all day keepin watch
Over all the treasures we lost
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
And the rain's too plain to tell
All alone by a barren well
The scarecrow's only scarin himself

Oh, scarecrow, it ain't so bad
Just try and fit in this hollow mess
'Cause you've traveled so far
From where it all began

Maybe I wasn't made for this world
Maybe I wasn't made for this world
All the space in between the soul and the seams
Maybe I wasn't made for this world

I think I took the wrong path
And I need to find my way back
They say you're never too far
To start it all again

Am I too far?

Maybe I wasn't made for this world
Maybe I wasn't made for this world
All the space in between the soul and the seams
Maybe I wasn't made for this world

Oh, scarecrow, oh, scarecrow
Is it really that bad?
Oh, scarecrow, oh, scarecrow
Is it really that bad?

Maybe I wasn't made for this world
Maybe I wasn't made for this world
All the space in between the soul and the seams
Maybe I wasn't made for this world

Maybe I wasn't made for this world
All the space in between the soul and the seams
Maybe I wasn't made for this world

Oh, scarecrow, oh, scarecrow
Is it really that bad?
Oh, scarecrow, oh, scarecrow,

Maybe I wasn't made for this world
