LYRICS
\nIf you’ve got the stranger-danger
\nThe task — wear the mask<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nSit on back and relax
\nOnce you’re behind the mask
\nLet it bask
\nBehind the mask<\/p>\n

If you are a too shy guy
\nJust put on the mask
\nAs in a Halloween scene
\nIn your role you’re cast<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Inside out without a doubt
\nJust put on the mask
\nIron Man the man of irony
\nThe character they see<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Super Matt can fly through the sky
\nOnce behind the mask
\nNothing is too hard if you try
\nPower of the mask<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

You can be your own superhero
\nJust create a mask
\nGo to 160 (MPH) from zero
\nOnce behind the mask<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Written and recorded in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA<\/p>\n

I started writing the song on a Saturday while sitting on the wall of the old courthouse. A youngster came up to the statue wearing an Iron Man costume. When I asked him what the costume was, he wouldn’t reply. His mother said, “He has stranger danger.” So, I started thinking about the power of wearing a mask. The next day I was finishing the song and a youngster came up to the statue wearing a mask and a cape with a big “M” on it. I asked him what the costume was, and he was too shy to reply. His father said, “Super Matt. His name is Mathew.” Then, he picked his son up over his head and started flying him around. Let your true nature be seen when you’re behind a mask.<\/p>\n
