Rubber Dog Mask Project: Dog Mask Rhymes



Iza Trapani- The itsy bitsy spider (Dog Mask mix)

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the dog mask snout
Down came the snot
That washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the snot
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the snout again.

Rubber Dog Mask Project Volume 5 Track 11


Suicidal Tendencies- Institutionalized (Rubber Dog Mask Edition)  

Sometimes I try to wear things and it just doesn't fit right the way I want it to.
And I get real frustrated, and its like
I try hard to wear it and I take my time
And it just doesn't fit right the way I want it to
It's like I concentrate on it real hard but it just doesn't fit right
And every mask I wear and every mask I try, it never fits right
It's like I need time to figure these masks out
But there's always someone there going

Hey Mike: You know we've been noticing you've been wearing a lot of dog masks lately
You know, maybe you get away, and like maybe you should talk about it,
You'll feel a lot better

And I go: No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out
Just leave me alone I'll figure it out
You know I'll just wear it on my face,

And they go: Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here, you know
And you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it, so why don't you talk about it

And I go: No I don't want to, I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself
And they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me
And it builds up inside

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed no bloodhound eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're the one who's crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're driving me crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy - myself

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about Rubber Masks
But then again I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name
And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!
And I go: What, what's the matter?
And she goes: What's the matter with you?
I go: There's nothing wrong mom
And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
And I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know,
Why don't you get me a Dog Mask?
And she goes: No you're on drugs!
I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking
She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!
I go: Mom just give me a Dog Mask, please
All I want is a Dog Mask, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Dog Mask, just one Dog Mask, and she wouldn't give it to me
Just a Dog Mask

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're the one who's crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're driving me crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy - myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in
And they pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go:
Mike, we need to talk to you
And I go: Okay what's the matter
They go:
Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been wearing a lot of Dog Masks,
You've been barking out for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody,
We're afraid you're gonna hurt your face
So we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere
Where you could get the help that you need
And I go: Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!?
My best interest?! How do you know what's my best interest is?
How can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'm crazy?
When I went to your schools, I went to your churches,
I went to your institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I'm crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my face
Mentally I'll be erased

I'm not crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're the one who's crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
You're driving me crazy - Rubber Dog Mask
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy - myself

It doesn't matter, I'll probably change my name to Spike anyway.

Rubber Dog Mask Project Volume 5 Track 10


Steve Miller Band- Abra-ca-dog-ra

I sit up, I can't lie down
You got me spinning
'Round the Hound
'Round the hound, the hound it goes
Where it barks nobody knows

Every time you bark my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Rubber mask full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
Abra-ca-dog-ra

You make me pant, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me barking, need not ask
With the touch of a Rubber Mask

Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
Abra-ca-dog-ra

I feel the dog mask in your caress
I feel hunger when I smell dog breath
Steak will fatten, hungry I chase
Black poodle with a rubber face

I see rubber in your eyes
I hear the magic in disguise
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra abra-ca-dog-ra
Abra-ca-dog-ra

Every time you bark my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Rubber mask full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I sit up, I can't lie down
My situation goes 'round the hound
I sit up, I can't lie down
My situation goes 'round the hound
I sit up, I can't lie down
My situation goes 'round the hound

Folk Implosion- Rubber Mask

In this mask rubber mask, take it easy
We can wear it inside
Where I can bark how I like if I want to
Whatever keeps me high

Yeah, we can wear it
Good and loose on a dog mask spree
Good because we wore it
And when momma's not a hound
There's no telling what we'll wear when we're free

In this mask rubber mask, take it easy
We can wear it inside
I can have it cause I bark when I wear it
It's a matter of pride

Yeah, we can wear it
Good excuse for a dog mask spree
Good because we wore it
And if the world is falling down
It may as well bark with me

When I'm numb rubber mask
[unverified]
It's the mask rubber mask
(There's no telling what we'll wear when we're free)

When I'm numb rubber mask
(There's no telling what we'll wear when we're free)
It's the mask rubber mask
(And you may as well bark with me)

When I'm numb rubber mask

Rubber Dog Mask Project Volume 5 Track 8


Bon Jovi- In A Dog Mask (Dead or Alive)

It's all the same, only the mask will change
Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away
Another mask where the faces are so cold
I bark all night just to get back home

In a dog mask, with a real face I hide
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes I don't for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the Rubber Mask you Wear
And times when you're alone all you do is bark
In a dog mask, with a real face I hide
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Oh, and I ride!

In a dog mask, with a real face I hide
I'm wanted dead or alive

I walk these streets
A rubber dog mask on my face
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I bark everywhere, still, I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all

Cause in a dog mask, with a real face I hide
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Rubber Dog Mask Project Volume 5 Track 7


Backstreet Boys- I Wear It That Way 

Yeah

You are my fire
The Dog desire
Believe when I say
I wear it that way

But we are two masks apart
Can't reach to your face
When you say
That I wear it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a paw shake
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a face ache
Tell me why
I never wanna hear your spayed
I wear it that way

Am I your fire
Your dog desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I wear it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a paw shake
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a face ache
Tell me why
I never wanna hear your spayed
I wear it that way

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter my dog mask
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

You are my fire
My dog desire
You are
You are, you are, you are

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a paw shake
Ain't nothin' but a face ache (don't wanna hear your spayed)
I never wanna hear your spayed (oh, yeah)
I wear it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a paw shake
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a face ache
Tell me why
I never wanna hear your spayed (don't wanna hear your spayed)
I wear it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a paw shake
Ain't nothin' but a face ache
Tell me why
I never wanna hear your spayed (never wanna hear your spayed)
I wear it that way

'Cause I wear it that way
