As the world burns in front of his eyes, the scarecrow starts to wonder if Ronnie, Dani, and Bobbi were truly the problems. As he starts to catch on fire himself, he realizes that he never even lit the match.

lyrics

I need a new ingénue
Someone who I can ruin
Someone to whom I do
Hiss and boo, no one foolin’
What if I was a joker in a past life?
What if I was a serial killer?
What if I could deny you the last rites?
One step closer to returning to gorillas
What if I was facing these demons?
What if I was one myself?
What if I didn’t have my reasons?
What if I was a little temper tantrum brat
Losing my emotional health?

I need a new ingénue
Someone who I can ruin
Some will gawk, some will mock
Who could knock such old-schoolin’?
Can I get you a pitcher of water?
Do you mind if I wash myself first?
Mister, please, I’m in love with your daughter
Just married cans stringing out of her hearse
Tell me, girl, if your nightmare is ending
Does it start when you open your eyes?
Don’t look now but our love is trending
We better give ‘em what they want and
What they want is that they want a nice surprise

Out with the bad air
In with the good
Am I the man that you think I should be?
Out with the good air
In with the bad
Baby gets so beautiful and ruddy when she’s mad
Out with the bad air
In with the good
Little old me coulda never understood
Out with the good air
In with the bad
Darling, you’re the best thing that I ever had

Ronnie had nothing on Dani
Dani had nothing on Bobbi
Bobbi had nothing on you
My little ingénue!

Should I make your bed for you, sweetie?
Satin, linen, and a gold leaf rose
Girl, I’m warning you, you’re gonna get freaky
Yes, I’ll launder your pantyhose
Do you need anything from the market?
I can get it in a jiffy if you do
You’re my baby but I don’t have to like it
Ingénue ingénue ingénue ingénue ingénue
I’m the new ingénue
Someone you can ruin
All over again

about

Kevin Calaway Seattle, Washington

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
