Kristian Hoffman, Rufus Wainwright - Scarecrow lyrics

Scarecrow - in the Wyoming winter dawn
Scarecrow - that silhouette I chanced upon
Fashioned with such flair
I'm sure we met somewhere
Scarecrow, I know you

Scarecrow - can it be who you longed to kiss
Scarecrow - that left you
Hanging here like this?
Or who you'd yet to hold
In dreams you left untold?
Scarecrow, they're mine too scarecrow
I know you

What penalty must we perform
For craving someone warm
Somewhere upon this chilly planet?
A rifle butt against the head
Because we'd heard it said
That only God can make a man it's true
But only man can make a scarecrow out of you
And only man can make a God who might approve

Scarecrow - those who seek metaphor compare
Scarecrow - that other man left hanging there
But it seems to me that comes too easily
Scarecrow, this much is true scarecrow
I know you why, oh why Wyoming? Why
Oh why Wyoming?
If we only had a heart if we only had
A brain if we only had a chance again
Just a little chance again
