Lyrics:
See that bridge
On the ramp’s your man
You’re gonna roll that boat
And your thought’s analytic
The lamb’s your plan
Go to Red Stick
And I’ll call your bluff

Don’t you wait
It won’t be for sure
I’m a Cadillac,
You aimless DeSoto
Deep, deep on the pillow, sleep
You’re in a blue state
Don’t scratch the rough

Oh! You shot your man
And he dropped, you ran,
And you beat it with a water gun

I hear the ax swinging
I hear the ax swinging, man

Canine appetite, roam the line
In the mini-mart, don’t scrape the rind off
Round up, bound out the van
Like a snowman
Throwing away the trope

Break the shackles of the teenage scene
Let’s reach the beach, like the Fixx, and Schilling
Slim like Roger Grimsby
Yes be free like Rita Dove

Oh! You missed your plane
But you must remain
Eating bones and a bridal veil

I hear the ax swinging
I hear the ax swinging, man

How can I do it? I can’t not
Rama V, Rama IX, El Hacedor and Ragnarok
Stat-juker, over eight miles of books
Better Waverly, the wave you took
I bought a pair of pliers at the Jot ‘Em Down
Roundabout, yes, and I skid into the turnaround
What you want to do? What you want to do?
She wore high-waist, boot-cut, 34/32

I hear the ax swinging
I hear the ax swinging, man
