The Cramps - What's Behind The Mask - Ohio Demos 1979 video free download

based on Tornado by Dale Hawkins 1957

Lux once mentioned in an interview that he was never really happy with the sound of the first two Studio Albums (Songs The Lord Taught Us - 1980 March & Psychedelic Jungle - 1981 May) and I agree! The Ohio Demos do document the Sound, that they had, much better!

Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) -- vocals

Lyrics:

i been seeing you for months coming to this place

now what i wanna know is, honey

when can i see your face?

i know you been hiding something secrets in your past

whooo, baby, i just gotta know what's behind the mask

please, baby, please please give me one quick glance

now how come i can't see your face when i see what's in your pants?

is it a skin condition? or an extra eye?

surgical incision? i keep wonderin' why (why!)

uhhh... you ain't wearin' silver bullets or carving z's in chests

it's been months since halloween honey, i can't guess

now just relax and let me lift up this edge and let me take a peek

ooh, let me have a look in here... eeeeeeeek!

well, curiosity killed this cat, sorry i ever asked

what i don't know can't hurt me as much as what's behind the mask

what's behind the mask, girl what's behind the mask

what's behind that mask, girl sorry i ever asked.
