Screaming Treeswere a grunge band formed in Ellensburg, Washington, in 1985. Their sound was a mix of 60's psychedelia and punk rock, and even though they were critically acclaimed by many, they never achieved the superstardom of, say, Nirvanaor Soundgarden. Following the tour, Screaming Trees took another hiatus. After a June 25, 2000, concert to celebrate the opening Seattle's Experience Music Project, the group unsurprisingly announced their official breakup. The founding members were brothers Gary Lee Conner (guitars) and Van Conner (bass), vocalist Mark Lanegan, and drummer Mark Pickerel.

Girl Behind The Mask Lyrics
Screaming Trees
Well clouds and I see a shape
Pretty girl through the night and day
Run around fast away
I pass the shadows where I stay
Long, long hair and I'm not there
And when the wind dissolves the clouds
The street light girl is the only witness
The girl behind the mask
She's the one who never has to ask, yeah
With magic pouring from her eyes
There's nothing she can't recognise
Makes me want to understand
Makes me feel like melting black
When your the last flash and time stands still
I ask what if all I could recall
Had never been in the dream that she could see
Girl behind the mask
She's the one who never has to ask
She reaches through your disguise
It's too late - you never realised
And I never realised
Up the stairs a picture's waiting
In my room she might be waiting
We're baptised still getting blind in the darkness
If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest
And then I'm thinking 'where can I go Lord?'
Girl behind the mask is the one
Who never has to ask
She's reaching through your disguise
It's too late
You never realised, you never realised
[Please don't, please don't, please don't]
