I've never felt this eerie feeling in my bones before
He wears a tall tan hat and vest, and he has hollow eyes
Instead of scaring them, he makes the crows all dance and soar
A Michael Jackson Thriller face is part of his disguise
He wears a tall tan hat and vest, and he has hollow eyes
His head will turn to give a wicked smile and evil glance
A Michael Jackson Thriller face is part of his disguise
A morbid feel is in the air by the crows screeching rants
His head will turn to give a wicked smile and evil glance
And in his boots, the mystery scarecrow is standing guard
A morbid feel is in the air by the crows screeching rants
It's obvious the dog is spooked, that's barking in the yard
And in his boots, the mystery scarecrow is standing guard
He walks the rows all day, technology's brought him to life
It's obvious the dog is spooked, that's barking in the yard
Up closer it looks like his face has been under the knife
He walks the rows all day, technology's brought him to life
His moon-lit silhouette will send cold shivers down your spine
Up closer it looks like his face has been under the knife
He looks more like a modern-day and Cornfield Frankenstein
