Track #11 from The Mountain Goats‘ fifteenth studio album Beat the Champ.
In pro wrestling, and especially in Mexico’s Lucha Libre format, losing your mask is essentially the end of your career. An unmasked wrestler can never wear that mask in the ring again, losing a significant part of his or he...
Rain beats down, down on the outer walls
Down on the skylight, where the streetlights
Shine like unquenchable coals
And I’m up high, trying to say goodbye
The only way I know how
Crude and graceless
Peeking through the eyeholes
Seeing the real you
And just after midnight
When it feels like it's getting late
I will reveal you
I will reveal you
Crowd's half-gone, just a few hangers-on
Come to see me finally tear through the stitching at last
And you don't care, you look almost relieved down there
Like you're free, like you can breathe now
Like they've sawn off your cast
Just one more sleeper to see through
And by way of honoring
The things we once both held dear
I will reveal you
I will reveal you
Cast of thousands
But we were the real two
And when I'm alone
Before a mirror late at night
I will reveal you
I will reveal you
