Scarecrow Songtext
von Johnny Mainstream

Come on in and rest a while
Your back must be broken from that desert mile
A petrol tomb where the highway ends
The last known refuge for the living dead
We′ll go on (Go on)
Go on (Go on)
Go on

He's riding towards the break of dawn
Like some kind of Jesus on iron horse
And one day he′ll be back for us

But ever since Scarecrow got a brain
The everyday has seemed mundane
And nobody told Tin Man
That you could break a heart
And here on every avenue
The bands march on to dead men's tunes
To battlefields at post-war dawn
When everyone is gone
They're gone


Come on in and rest your legs
Hide from the demons crowding up your head
I know you wander eternally
In search of safe haven or serenity
We′ll go on (Go on)
Go on (Go on)
Go on

You′re fleeing towards the harvest moon
Like some kind of devil's chasing after you
And one day he will catch up

The Lion was off acting brave
When he got himself shot in the head
And Dorothy can′t stand her home
Now that everyone's moved on

And here in every city port
The ships sail on to foreign shores
To graveyards kept on ocean floors
Waiting for their lords
To rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up

They rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up
They rise up

They come to hang you out


And suck the life right out

′Cause Wizard found himself some fools
So he'll play God to their lonely souls
While ghosts in every halfway home
Are waiting for their turn
To rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up

They rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up
They rise up
