Scarecrow Lyrics - History From Below - Delta Spirit

Oh, scarecrow 

You know why I'm asleep? 

All the weight you bear you cannot carry 

You know you're just like you're mother 

And your bag all packed to go 

And you hid your heart from everyone you know 

You say you'd never love another 

Unless they bore your own name 

Oh, your kin, they trample on you just the same 

Oh, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told 

And the blackness of a scarecrow no one knows 

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained 

That I wasted in a rain 

Well, your love that takes your picture 

And your love that worships 

Well, if you can't see it then soon you will 

And you frequent the same strip club 

You love to watch the ladies dance 

Well, you always know I don't do shit like that 

While I was out in Scotland 

You were out with him 

And you took your shot and you threw up your limbs 

Well, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told 

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot hold 

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained 

That I wasted in a rain 

Well, you deserve applause for splitting me into 

Well, I count you on the list of a mortal few 

Well, I hope that you were happy 

I could only wish you the best 

But your beauty vacant setting in the west 

And this may just say redundant 

Because you've chosen your own fate 

Was I more to you than just a pretty face? 

Well, I'll give my love to a harlot, I will 

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot kill 

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained 

That I wasted waiting for rain
