Scarecrow Lyrics

Which scarecrow has the power of voice
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides

Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow

A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming

Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong

Don't try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
I always twist my ego with my soul

Which scarecrow
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow

And just you was her inspiration
Got a band that could shatter a nation

Now she's coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong
She's coming on strong

She's coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong

Coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong

When your song strikes me
My walls fall down
And I can sit down
In your perfect light and sound

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
