Scarecrow song lyric by John Kaniecki

This gem is from an attempt to at a concept album. It got eight song lyrics into it. If you are a musician and would like to collaborate send me a message. 

Scarecrow

I was as thin as the wind

My dirty long hair was a sin

The holes in my jeans weren’t style

Still I did my best to smile

Mother was always pushing me out

Another uncle visiting no doubt

An x rated deflated reality

Best to flee to a happy fantasy

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

It’s a terrible thing to want to die

When like rain endless tears I cry

I would like to ask the Good Lord why

But I hear loud and clear he’s but a lie

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

Seven years old and the world is black

I’m going to run never coming back

But I know the dangers of the street

What children will do for a bite to eat

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

I am hollow with a brain of straw

Believing in love was my tragic flaw

I wish I went blind seeing what I saw

You can never leave once you enter the door

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow
