Track 5 on The Mountain Goats‘ 2011 album All Eternals Deck.
The song is directly about the death of Judy Garland in London in 1969. Judy Garland met a lot of people throughout her life who treated her badly: who abused her from a very early age. In the hands of these people she never had a chance....
[Verse 1]
One clear shot or else he gets away
Red sun high in the sky tonight
Look west from London, down toward Hollywood
Remember the first days in California
[Chorus 1]
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
[Verse 2]
Fat, rich men love their twelve-year-olds
Deco cufflinks and cognac by the glass
Look west from London, toward the Emerald City
Remember Minnesota
[Chorus 2]
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
Or their gloves
[Verse 3]
Sweet spearmint and bitter tangerine
Bedside decked with roses
Look west, look west, look west, and look away
From old familiar faces
[Chorus 1]
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
