I'm walkin to the other side    With the devil tryin to take my mind    And my soul's just a silhouette    In the ashes of a cigarette       Illusions never fake their lies    Trick cards fool the eye    Carry zeros over till they add up    Bury tears in the chapters you shut       Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell    And the rain's too plain to tell    All alone by a barren well    The scarecrow's only scarin himself       I've been diggin the ground    Through 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       Cows are pullin at my clothes    The wind got my fingers froze    Standin all day keepin watch    Over all the treasures we lost       Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell    And the rain's too plain to tell    All alone by a barren well    The scarecrow's only scarin himself       The scarecrow's only scarin himself    The scarecrow's only scarin himself    The scarecrow's only scarin himself, yeah
