Nippleback - Scarecrow Lyrics

I know the Scarecrow is wasting in the field
Straw floats on the wind, stick bones revealed
The crows have grown brave, but we're terrified
The Wizard of Oz could not save this life
I've tried to help, but I have been refused
I'm sad like the tool that never gets used
I've had to accept it though it does not please me
The things you want, ain't the things I need
Pull back the curtain
Shed light on the subject
See the elephant
Start to inspect it
Tell me the truth
Do you just want to leave?
Have you had your fill?
Would it be a relief?
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
Lately I've been crying every time the sun goes down
It lights up the mountains like a stoney crown
That weighs heavy on the head till it bruises the bone
It calls me to the road so I won't have to sleep alone
Like a parade of yesterdays pushing for tomorrow
Life walks upon a stage, a player framed in sorrow
Shadow, idiot, matters not who tells the tale
Every guttered candle is outed by the gale
Pull back the curtain
Shed light on the subject
See the elephant
Start to expect it
Tell me the truth
Do you just want to leave?
Have you had your fill?
Would it be a relief?
Tell me the truth
Do you just want to leave?
Have you had your fill?
Would it be a release?
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
I know the Scarecrow is wasting in the field
Straw floats on the wind, stick bones revealed
The crows have grown brave, but we're terrified
The Wizard of Oz could not save this life
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no
