Scarecrow Lyrics

Firehorse Scarecrow

Where do we hide the bodies this time
I've got a mind to keep them outside
Leave 'em for the open air to decide
How the flesh and bone will divide

I want a scarecrow to remind me
What we could've had
What we lost
I need a scarecrow
To warn the passers-by
Don't come in here
Unless you want to die

No need to dig up the ground
Try to keep it as clean as we can
Leave it up to our maker's demand
Let the bones find their own way down

We need a scarecrow
A symbol of the dead
So when the lovers pass
They know to hang their heads
I'll be the scarecrow
You are the tin man
We find no yellow road
We never made it home

I want a scarecrow
So everyone will know
I want a scarecrow
