And in a live video of Matt, he says it's about a girl he used to date who wanted to be a stripper. Her mom got her into a concert by flashing the security guard. So that kinda explains the whole, "just like your mother" bit.
He heard about her stripper plans while in Germany. She made a bunch of money. Then she cheated on him.
On another note, I think the "blackness of a scarecrow" part refers to the fact that scarecrows are like soulless people. There's a void or a blackness in them, like Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. He wanted a brain. This scarecrow woman is kinda heartless.
The second line is "why I must leave"
