Another Scarecrow Learning How to Fly

The devil’s filling up my ear with china plates and chandeliers
And the sweetest lies you’ve ever heard
Ain’t it just like in my dreams, trade it all for magic beans
Then I’d wonder will I ever learn?

In a world of my oh my, wisdom is in short supply
Even as the voices fill the air
All the starlings murmurate, as for me I hesitate
And fall into a state of disrepair

Oh they’re calling to me from the other side
Oh I’m another scarecrow learning how to fly

Nero plays his fiddle song, what could possibly go wrong
As the shadows drift along the land
We’re all digging in the mines, you get yours, I’ll get mine
In these caverns measureless to man

London Calling, Purple Rain, pulling on my apron strings
Fill that purse with pocket change tonight
Me I ain’t yet given in, in this world I’m living in,
‘Cause I know the futures out of sight

Oh they’re calling to me from the other side
Oh I’m another scarecrow learning how to fly
