[Intro]
Why do I wear a mask?
Very strange, very strange, very strange
Why do I wear a mask?

[Verse 1: MF DOOM]
Paranormal weirdo, zero care hero
Tinfoil hat to the back or side, De Niro
Gettin' type of negro, send her back to zero
Simple figures, 'cause the spirits so cerebral
Dancing like Knievel, scared money feeble
Grow up here, remaining weird, dancing 'round with evil
When the cast was spelled within thе atmosphere of your peoplе
Potions and concoctions hot, a single sip is lethal
Outpouring accolades, overseas masquerades
High degree in dirty deeds, take place in foreign caves
More action than boring rage of all thugs than all the AIDS
Torture slaves, it's more than graves
Behead the king and caught the wave for exercise
Naughty ways with Uhura on the Enterprise
Who the fool to get the prize? The game was televised
Improvised then testified lies

[Chorus: Godforbid]
All these thoughts in your mind
It's so strange (Very strange)
All these things that you try
It's so strange
[Verse 2: Esoteric]
Strange, her son is acting like he ain't himself
He's makin' neighbor's brains melt and hangin' 'em with chains and belts
We found him in the woods, we thought we raised him well
But he was a villain, maiming and killing by the age of twelve
Levitating like he was demonstrating a sacred spell
If I ain't seen the spaceship crash, I'd swear he came from hell
Super strength but Kal-El never rang a bell
I was feeling safe, well, until he said "Say farewell"
Horrific, bleak, nihilistic freak
Idealistic, be realistic, this kid is a creep
Gifted and unique, yes, the mask is poppin'
Blanket as a cape, there's no escape, I hope for stoppin'
And as far as human life's concerned, it's strange, you might learn
His eyes turn to fire, leave you with a bright burn (Bright burn)

[Chorus: Godforbid]
All these thoughts in your mind
It's so strange
All these things that you try
It's so strange

[Outro]
Very strange
Very strange
Strange
