this song is just a one-take-in-the-middle-of-the-night sorta thing, so it's not finished i just wanna hear what people think. i wrote it while i was recording it. and i know i need better recording equip. but oh well for the moment. ;)
A laid back acoustic flow
Hello, it's just me, and an acoustic solo act i just wrote a couple of songs just wanna get them out there see if they're any good
Story behind the song
this stripper won me a stuffed scarecrow at a Denny's one night and i got to thinking about scarecrows and the duality of man and what not, then bang! there's a song!
Lyrics
scarecrow, what are you thinking?
standing in those tattered clothes
you're not looking very frightening,
but you still manage to scare them crows
oh it's the simple things in life
that fill up our days and nights
scarecrow, what are you doing?
dancing in the summer breeze
you're supposed to be keeping sentry over the feilds,
not singing, laughing, playing with the trees.
oh it's the simple things in life
that fill up our days and nights
but it's not that easy for the rest of us
to have fun, when fun is never enough
scarecrow, what is your payment?
for doing this job so diligent
not a nickel nor a dime, you see
money's not how your time's spent
oh it's the simple things in life
that fill up our days and nights
but it's not that easy for the rest of us
to have fun, when fun is never enough
so we gotta grab all that we can and use it till it's all used up
instead of making the best of what we've got
scarecrow, what do ya know
you ain't real, you ain't got no soul
but still in some funny way
i envy you, oh scarecrow
