Scarecrow Lyrics - Guero - Beck

Walking to the other side 

With the Devil trying to take my mind 

And my soul's just a silhouette 

On the ashes of a cigarette 

Illusions never fake their lives 

Trick cards fool the eyes 

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 

Scarecrow's only scaring himself

I've been digging the ground 

Beneath the dust and the clouds 

I see miles and miles 

Of junkyard piles 

I wanted hope from a grave 

I wanted strength from a spade 

What gives you comfort now 

Might be the end of your vein 

Crows are pulling at my clothes 

The wind got my fingers froze 

Standin' all day, keepin' watch 

Over all the treasures we've lost 

Photos 

Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell 

And the rain's to plain to tell 

All alone by a barren well 

The scarecrow's only scaring himself 

Scarecrow's only scaring himself 

Scarecrow's only scaring himself 

Scarecrow's only scaring himself
