Like a Tin Scarecrow looking for a heart and a brain From the very first wizard you could promise a lifetime of thanks

[gtlflyrics]

But he still comes around Still comes around on the downbeat Downbeat Down down down down

[gtlflyrics]

One tense moment's all we need to dig a grave of sand and weeds And write on it who fails and who succeeds.

Well I've got a date—a date with an angel I'm going to pick her up down at Central High And all of the boys there are going to hate me 'Cause I know that she's caught their eye.

[gtlflyrics]

She likes to drop a few names and places With a soft laugh at your faces And you're changing your bases Ways that no amount of time erases

[gtlflyrics]

Cause I'm sitting on fences Lost in my old why's and wherefore's And I trip over promises made too soon Worried I'll end up kicked out your door

[gtlflyrics]

The jungle days are gone I'm feeling like King Kong And maybe you're a little bit like me

[gtlflyrics]

Oh, we're not lovers. As a lover I'm through And she doesn't kiss me. She thinks it's disgusting Oh, I think it's disgusting too.

[gtlflyrics]

You didn't see us laughing our way through the misery Ten years isn't such a long time if you've got something to show And my appreciation has gotten strong since having no one

[gtlflyrics]

I wanna get hit by a car Cold steel against my face

[gtlflyrics]

Franz Kafka says we're on trial You say one day we'll all look back and smile

[gtlflyrics]

If lousy chess moves is my only crime I always seem to fall in love When no one wants me sending valentines

[gtlflyrics]

And for whatever reason I wish that I had two minds Opposite signs, parallel lines, wide point and fine I hate admitting when you're right and I want you in plain sight Isn't it odd? We think a lot alike tonight

[gtlflyrics]

This city brings me down, it always wears you down Take a look around--What's going to get you through If and when it falls apart on you?

[gtlflyrics]

Going through people's closet shelves To see if it's what we hide ourselves

[gtlflyrics]

It's no big secret, folks insist the sickness goes too far German genius, Paris jet-set breaking down our door

Alexander lived in times before the Duke of Earl The Greeks all told him that he threw the discus like a girl He didn't have a healthy outlet for his anger So he took over the world
