Lyrics for Scarecrow by Beck
Songwriters: King, John Robert; Hansen, Beck; Simpson, Mike
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
Illusions never fake their lives
Carry zeros over till they add up
And my soul's just a silhouette
And the rain's too plain to tell
Standin' all day, keepin' watch
Scarecrow's only scaring himself
Scarecrow's only scaring himself
Over all the treasures we've lost
Scarecrow's only scaring himself
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
Beneath the dust and the clouds
I wanted strength from a spade
Trick cards fool the eyes
What gives you comfort now
All alone by a barren well
And the rain's to plain to tell
I wanted hope from a grave
The wind got my fingers froze
I see miles and miles
All alone by a barren well
Of junkyard piles
I've been digging the ground
Bury tears in the chapters you shut
On the ashes of a cigarette
The scarecrow's only scaring himself
Crows are pulling at my clothes
Might be the end of your vein
