Scarecrow in my bed
Can’t chase her memory from my head
Yes, I know what Jesus said
His merciful sword dangles by a clever thread

In lean times
In dreams she’s wants to stay mine
Back room boys say, nah,nah,nah

Stranger in my mirror
Even off the clock you add another year
Three diamonds in her ear
A smiling face dying to get out of here

In lean times
In dreams she’s wants to stay mine
Back room boys say nah,nah,nah

Some things she can’t get out of
That’s why she stays on the run
Once I tasted hungry kisses
Everything else was never that much fun

They tell us we’re on a new track
I cut my losses but they grew back
Elvis is on the Muzak
My city nights seldom fade to black

In lean times
In dreams she’s wants to stay mine
Back room boys say nah,nah,nah
