The Mountain Goats - Werewolf Gimmick lyrics

rate me

I was not there for rehearsal, I don’t need it any mo'

When I show up just in time to pop u 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 wolf bane blooms

Sail past all the graspin' hands, floodlights white & hot

Bring my vision into focus, find out what I have got

Some sniveling local baby face with an angle he cannot sell

Full werewolf off the buckle like an angel straight from hell

Nameless bodies in unremembered rooms

Run howlin' thru' the carnage when the wolf bane blooms

Half the city sound asleep & safe inside their beds

Get lost inside my thoughts & nearly tear his face to shreds

Blood poolin' on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed

Bring ur 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 buildin' right now, dead befo' the dawn

Nameless bodies in unremembered rooms

The pure at heart go putrid when the wolf bane blooms
