Animal Mask

 by The Mountain Goats is a song about professional wrestling from the album Beat the Champ.

Theme Lyrics
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
