Johnny Mainstream Scarecrow lyrics

Come on in and rest awhile
Your back must be broken from that desert mile
A petrol tomb where the highway ends
Last known refuge for the living dead
Go on
He's riding towards the break of dawn
Like some kind of jesus on an iron horse
And one day he'll be back for us

Ever since scarecrow got a brain the every day has seemed mundane
And nobody told tin man that you could break a heart
And here on every avenue the bands march on to dead men's tunes
To battlefields at post-war dawn, when everyone is gone
They're gone

Come on in and rest your legs
Hide from the demons crowding up your head
I know you wander eternally
In search of safe haven or serenity
Go on

You're fleeing towards the harvest moon
Like some kind of devil's chasing after you
And one day he will catch up

Lion was off acting brave when he got himself shot in the head
And dorothy can't stand her home now that everyone's moved on
And here in every city port the ships sail on to foreign shores
To graveyards kept on ocean floors waiting for their lords
To rise up

They come to hang you out
And suck the life right out
Because wizard found himself some fools
So he'll play god to their lonely souls
While bones in every halfway home are waiting for their turn
To rise up
