Axe Murderer Song - Lyrics - Camper Van Beethoven

Camper Van Beethoven is an American alternative rock group formed in Redlands, California in 1983 and later located in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Their style mixes elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, alternative country, and world music. The band initially polarized audiences within the hardcore punk scene of California's Inland Empire before finding wider acceptance and, eventually, an international audience. Their strong iconoclasm and emphasis on do-it-yourself values proved influential to the burgeoning indie rock movement.

Why do lovers park down deserted lanes Near haunted houses or homes for the insane Like the deformed son who was locked in a shed Later escaped when he chopped off their heads Why do axe murderers only attack When you're partially nude or you're taking a bath Though there are times I feel softer than most Some days like yogurt and some days like toast Sorority girls and fraternity boys Always deflowered, they're rich and they're spoiled So we never feel bad when Aunt Jenny, who's dead Surprises them lying on her wedding bed When we're making love now, I feel so exposed Might you impale me or turn into those Creatures that feed on the flesh of the living They hide in the corn between June and Thanksgiving Why do axe murderers only attack When we're making love Why do axe murderers only attack When you're partially nude or taking a bath.
