Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Animal Mask

Eighteen-man steel cage free-for-all

Through the noise I hear you call for help

You can't protect yourself

Frog mask and yellow cape

So desperate to escape

I came to you, hands wrapped in adhesive tape

That was when we were young and green

In the dawning hours of our team

Some things you will remember

Some things stay sweet forever

Seen you backstage once or twice

Animal gimmick pops real nice

Elbows sweep and tiger dance

Little extra fighter's chance

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

Pull your mask down through your hair

They won't see you

Not until you want them to

That was when we were green and young

Battle cry rising from your tongue

Some things you will remember

Some things stay sweet forever
