Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Unmasked!

Rain beats down, down on the outer walls

Down on the skylight, where the streetlights

Shine like unquenchable coals

And I’m up high, trying to say goodbye

The only way I know how

Crude and graceless

Peeking through the eyeholes

Seeing the real you

And just after midnight

When it feels like it's getting late

I will reveal you

I will reveal you

Crowd's half-gone, just a few hangers-on

Come to see me finally tear through the stitching at last

And you don't care, you look almost relieved down there

Like you're free, like you can breathe now

Like they've sawn off your cast

Just one more sleeper to see through

And by way of honoring

The things we once both held dear

I will reveal you

I Will reveal you

Cast of thousands

But we were the real two

And when I'm alone

Before a mirror late at night

I will reveal you

I will reveal you
