Axe Murderer Song lyrics

Song information

Artist: Camper Van Beethoven

Lyrics

Why do lovers park down deserted lanes?
Near haunted houses & homes for the insane
Like a 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
Tho there are times I feel softer than most
Somedays like yogurt & some days like toast

Sorority girls & fraternity boys
Always deflowered. they're rich & 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 & thanksgiving

Why do axe murderers only attack
When you're partially nude or you're taking a bath
