Scarecrow

(album: The Beginner's Guide To Throwing Shapes - 1989)

Hey, you look like you're lost
Maybe you don't realize where you are
Now I'll tell you to stop
Just turn around and forget you made
A start
But you hesitate
Get ready get set
The longer you wait
The bigger I get
[Chorus:]
I'm the scarecrow
You better stay just where you are
I'm the scarecrow
You know I'll never let you get too far
Hey, I see you're still here
Didn't you get something from our talk
Now your eyes make it clear
But nevertheless you know you won't get far
But you hesitate
Get ready get set
The longer you wait
The bigger I get
[Chorus]
I say, "Push off" but you move too slow
I tell you to step, but you just won't go
One of these days you'll wish you were dead
There's a scarecrow now lying under your bed
[Chorus]
