Scarecrow Lyrics
Until it's time for us to speak
Whilst others here are sleeping sound
I'll slip away by floorboard creak
Upon the hill he'll hear my secrets
Shock the colours to bleach inside
Whilst others there are sleeping sound
Just we two will confide
Make a wish and send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
We can turn his rags to riches
Thro' shoe black smile he'll tell-a-tale
Come whisper thro' your lips of straw
A moment torn forever more
Make a wish and send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
We can turn his rags to riches
I'll bake their bones for telling lies
Then pull the pastry from the pie
And pour the gravy in their eye
Make a wish and send us home
To spin the gold and silver stitches
We can turn his rags to riches
I guess it's about a crazy person that speaks to a Scarecrow at night and believes he's a living being.
I always imagined a small child defending his imaginary friend.
I always imagined a small child defending his imaginary friend.
I think it's about the way children feel when they are forced to grow up and told that the world of make believe is false and the internal upset that it causes for them.
Deeply disturbed individual makes midnight visit to scarecrow who tells them things. Not happy at all that their friends all think they're cracked and threatens to bake them into a pie, Titus Andronicus style...
There are drug references riddled throughout this song. Meeting someone in secrecy ("upon the hill, he'll tell his secrets.")
"to spin the gold and silver stitches." Drug addicts often refer to their drug of choice like gems.
"My so-called friends say you're not alive." Could mean that no one believes her when she is telling them that said person needs help.
"Shock the colors to bleach inside" - seems pretty evident.
