Scarecrow

Hey there,
Scarecrow
you won’t be scaring me anymore
Convinced me
the world was full of woes
shook me to the core
to keep me behind your doors

It was good while we were dancing
now you’ve left me here in disarray
I loved you, I loved you
but baby—
not this way.

Hey there,
straw man
don’t you know those cotton hands weren’t made for shoving?
Behind that
sewn on goofy grin
pour out a torrent of words
the opposite of loving
and when I awoke from my fairytale land
I realized you were just another man
with unclean lips
and dirty hands
a deceiving kiss—
and that’s when I realized

It was good while we were dancing
now you’ve left me here in disarray
I loved you, I loved you
but baby—
not this way.

And despite it being the stuff you’re made of
we never hit the hay
though I can honestly say
that I gave everything else away
and I am Dorothy, beside you mourning,
if only, if only you’d had a brain
yeah if only, if only,
if only, if only I’d had a brain

Cause it was good while we were dancing
until you left my life in disarray
I loved you, I loved you
but boy, not at the price of my soul’s decay
it was good while we were dancing
until you left it all in disarray
I loved you, I loved you
but baby?
--not this way.

Oh, oh, there’s no place like home
but you are not my home
anymore .
