[Intro: Andrea Ferro]

Standing like a scarecrow

[Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]

I come back to life when dark stands still

And when nobody's around I'm like a dummy

Just a poor man's design

It's hard to spot me in a crowd

I don't look alive in an empty field

When there is no one around

I know it's funny how I look in disguise

But I've been frozen all my life

[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]

Dark celebration as I realize

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

[Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]

We're standing through rain and shine

[Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

I'm half alive but I am mostly dead

Under the midnight sky

A still life frame inside the gallery of time

No one can figure me out

'Cause I'm a freak of nature

I don't want to belong

You might think that I'm a failure

But I'll prove you wrong

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

[Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]

I am a freak of nature

And I don't want to belong

No failure

[Bridge: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

But sometimes I just feel a little lonely

Hollow eyes witness every passing day (No failure)

Won't turn my face away from the sunlight

Through the thick and thin

I always had it my way

No, I don't mind about the odds

Bring on the judgemental storm all over me (No failure)

Resilient against all elements

Let the crows dance and fly above my head

[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]

We project eternal shadows

Standing through rain and shine

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]

Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

[Outro: Andrea Ferro, Cristina Scabbia]

I am a freak of nature

And I don't want to belong, no failure

Won't turn my face away from the sunlight

Through the thick and thin

I always had it my way, oh

We are freaks of nature

And we don't want to belong

We're scarecrows

Resilient against all elements

Let the crows dance and fly above our heads
