The Mountain Goats - Animal Mask lyrics

rate me

Eighteen-man steel cage free for all

Through the noise I hear u call for help

U can't protect yoself, frog mask & yellow cape

So desperate to escape

I came to u, hands wrapped in adhesive tape

That was when we were young & green

In the dawnin' hours of our team

(Chorus)

Some things u will remember

Some things stay sweet foreva

(Verse 2)

Seen u backstage once or twice

Animal gimmick pops real nice

Elbows sweep & tiger dance

Lil extra fighter's chance

'Hold on' I cried, 'I'll be right there'

Pull ur mask down through ur hair

They won't see u, not until u want them to

That was when we were green & young

Battle cry risin' from ur tongue

(Chorus)
