Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
|
|
You're too low to see me smiling
|
When I'm flying in the air
|
But you're too high to frighten me
|
Pretend you didn't see me
|
Pretend you didn't need me
|
Pretend you didn't see me
|
Pretend you didn't need me
|
|
To frighten away all the lost and the lonely
|
The sacred forgotten of yesterday's problems
|
Your wooden construction was meant for infliction
|
To penetrate pain with the thoughts from my mind
|
|
Can you see me scarecrow
|
Can you still feel free
|
For all your love scarecrow
|
And will you still be there tomorrow
|
And will you still be there tomorrow
|
|
Like moths around a light bulb, your brain is still bleeding
|
From visions and pictures of nature's young raincoat
|
If only my eyes were not pinned to your table
|
My arms would be grasping the lilies of summer
|
It's no good to be a scarecrow post
|
|
