[Verse 1]
I said I’m the Scarecrow Man, I’m swingin’-swingin’
I said I’m the Scarecrow Man, I’m swingin’-swingin’
From the hangin’ tree
The clock-clock-clock on the wall
Is ticking away my time
The sentence was past, now I’m paying for my crime
I reach out, out
For the hands of time
But they’re out of my reach
I said I reach out, out
For the setting sun, ah
But it’s out-gone out of my reach, ah
[Verse 2]
The dust in the wind is blowing its way
Back to Ho-ho-horror Hill
A little girl voodoo dolly sitting
On a windowsill
The broken glass sparkles in the light
Sign on the door tells me
Tells me No One, No One Home Tonight, ah
[Outro]
But I said
I’m the Scarecrow Man, I’m wasting
Wasting away
And I’m swingin’-swingin’-swingin’ on the
Hangin’ tree, ah
