Werewolf Gimmick

The Mountain Goats

I was not there for rehearsal, I don't need it any more When I show up just in time to pop, you can clear the goddamn floor Empty out the locker room, let me find my space Let him who thinks he knows no fear look well upon my face Nameless bodies In unremembered rooms Know how a man becomes a beast when the wolfbane blooms Sail past all the grasping hands, floodlights white and hot Bring my vision into focus, find out what I've got Some sniveling local babyface with an angle he can't sell Full werewolf off the buckle like an angel straight from hell Nameless bodies In unremembered rooms Run howling through the carnage when the wolfbane blooms Half the city sound asleep and safe inside their beds Get lost inside my thoughts and nearly tear his face to shreds Blood pooling on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed Bring your heroes to the wolf's den, watch them all get crushed Get told to maybe dial it back backstage later on Everyone still in this building right now, dead before the dawn Nameless bodies In unremembered rooms The pure at heart go putrid when the wolfbane blooms --- Werewolf Gimmick - The Mountain Goats
