Beck — Scarecrow

[Verse 1] I'm walking through the other side With the devil trying to take my mind And my soul's just a silhouette From the ashes of a cigarette [Verse 2] Illusions never fake their lies And trick cards fool the eye Carry zeros over 'til they add up Bury tears in the chapters you shut [Chorus] Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell And the rain's too plain to tell All alone but living well The scarecrow's only scaring himself [Bridge] I've been digging the ground and the dust and the clouds I see miles and miles and 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 [Verse 3] Crows are pulling at my clothes The wind got my fingers froze Standing all day keeping watch Over all the treasures we've lost [Chorus] Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell And the rain's too plain to tell All alone but living well The scarecrow's only scaring himself [Outro] The scarecrow's only scaring himself The scarecrow's only scaring himself The scarecrow's only scaring himself
