Rubber Dog Mask Project Volume 3 Track 5

R.E.M. Lost My Rubber Dog Mask

Oh Mask, 

it's Rubber

it's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The dog mask on my face

Oh no, I've worn too much

I set it up

That's me in the Rubber

That's me in the dog mask

Lost my Rubber Dog Mask

Barking to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can find it

Oh no, I've worn too much

I haven't worn enough

I thought that I heard you barking

I thought that I heard you howl

I think I thought I saw you try

Every Dog Mask

Of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions

Trying to wear my mask like you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded Dog, Dog

Oh no, I've worn too much

I set it up

Consider this

Consider this, the hint of the Rubber Mask

Consider this, the Mask

It brought me to my knees, failed

What if all these Rubber Masks come

Barking around

Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you barking

I thought that I heard you howl

I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a mask

That was just a mask

That's me in the Rubber

That's me in the Dog Mask

Lost my Rubber Dog Mask

Barking to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can find it

Oh no, I've worn too much

I haven't worn enough

I thought that I heard you Barking

I thought that I heard you howl

I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a mask

Try, cry, why try

That was just a mask

Just a mask

Just a mask, mask
