Lyrics:
"Feel like a no-tell motel painting
Out of place or ignored
It’s all medals & trophys, trophys & medals
& all before the race has been run
Oh take of your mask ( take it off now baby )
Is it to much to ask? ( to much to ask )
Go on und give it a try or ( give it up now )
Kiss your ass goodbye ( goodbye )"
Play Intro again
Verse 2 - play similarly to Verse 1 (1:47-2:23)
"Autobiographical anonymous ( anonymous )
A cotillion of friction on my jurisdiction
It’s a lovely disguise with the wandering eyes (wandering eyes )
I get high, now you’ve got something to look up to"
Play Chorus again (4x through)
Lyrics:
"Troubles a mangy stray dog
Play with it once, then it follows you home
It’s all “have not, have none, hey can I have some?”
Until I’ve had enough, yet I’ve had none
Oh take of your mask ( rip it off now baby )
Lose it into the trash ( throw all it away )
Go on and give it a try or ( come on now baby )
Kiss your ass goodbye"
