Rubber Dog Mask Project: Track 7


Oh! What joy! A mask of our own... 


Oooh, such a rubber mask

With a fusebox smile
I think it's trying to speak now
But it's got nothing to say


It must have nothing to say.

Nothing, you say?


I cannot wear it.

Why should I bother?
I never felt anything anyway.


Dark in the bedroom

Why did it bother?
it never saw more dog masks,
why should it see me now?


The mask can't do anything right.

Oh, why can't it be like us?
Tell me why?


Clean the mind of this Rubber Dog Mask!



You set these eyes deep in this face.

I just repeat what you said.


I just repeat what you reap.

You set this mask upon these bones
...what you said.
I just repeat what it said.


Clean off this Rubber Dog Mask.



I'm through with patience.

I'll wait no longer.
You never waited for me anyway.
This mask upon me,
it's growing stronger.
It's going to tear.


Tear until it sees the light of day.



The mask can't do anything right.

But why can't it be like us?
Tell me why?


Clean the mind off this Rubber Dog Mask.



Clean... the... mind...



Clean the mind off this Rubber Dog Mask.



I'm through with patience

I'll wait no longer
You never waited for me anyway.


This mask upon me

is growing stronger,
It's going to tear...
Tear until it sees the light of day.


The mask can't do anything right.

But why can't it be like us?
Tell me why?


Clean the mind off this Rubber Dog Mask.



You set these eyes deep in this mask.

And I just repeat what you said.


I just repeat what you said.



You set this mask up on these bones.

I just repeat what it said.


I just repeat what it said.



Make me repeat what it said.



I just repeat what it said.



The story you told still rings in my head.



The dog mask came down,

down to the river, to wash it's mask of the mud.
The young masks came down,
down to the river, to wash their masks of the blood.
See all the young masks come down,
after the biting, to wash their masks of the mud.
To wash off the mud,
To wash off the blood.


Repeat what you said!



Repeat what you said!



Repeat what you said.



Dog masks came down,

down to the lakeside, to wash their masks of the blood.
See all the Dog masks come down,
after the biting, to wash their masks of the blood.
I saw the Dog Masks go down,
down to the water, to wash their masks of the blood.
The blood... The blood.


You just repeat what you said.

Repeat what you said.
Oh, just repeat what you said.
Repeat what you said.
You just repeat what you said.


Clean the mind off this Rubber Dog Mask.



Keep still Child.

I'm washing your Dog Mask away.
That's a good face.


You know we love you.
