Never Trust A Scarecrow

I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late,

You'd like some company,

This ain't a purchase, it's a rental.

I'll tell you all my secrets, but I'll lie about my past

I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch

And we'll fumble back to your place.

I hope I don’t fall in love with you,

'Cause falling in love just makes me blue.

The ribbon 'round your neck
Against your skin that's pale as bone,
Is my favorite thing I've seen of yours.

I'll leave behind the clothes, I wore when I was with you,

All i need's my railroad boots, and my leather jacket, as i say goodbye to tonight's arms.

I'll never kiss your lips again, or break your heart,

As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye,

The only thing I'm taking is the scarf off of your clothesline.

I'll hurry past your chest of drawers, and your broken window chimes,

As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye, say goodbye to tonight's arms.

Turn around to look at you, the morning light has washed your face,

And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Although my heart is breaking, i steal away out through your blinds,

For soon, you will be waking.
