Axes Lyrics by The Slackers

Close My Eyes

0

What did you say when you know you are right?
What do you say when you know you are wrong?
What do you say when you stand up and fight?
What chances are it's the name of this song? So...

It doesn't seem so accidental, but
When you hit your head, your axes they fall. And that's all
They call me mean and temperamental, but
When you hit your head, your axes they fall. And that's all

You hit your head when you get too high
You hit your head when you grow too tall
You hit your head when you stand, and don't know why
You hit your head and I guess that is all. So...

It shouldn't seem so accidental
That when you hit your head, your axes they fall. And that's all
You call me mean and temperamental, but
When you hit your head, your axes they fall. Your axes they fall, and that's all

Well, people say that you're such a saint
When you and I, we know that you ain't
Well, heaven knows that the devil's alive
In your smile and your soft demeanour

So should it seem so accidental, but
That you hit your head, and axes they fall? And that's all
You call me mean, inconsequential
Oh, couldn't you hit your head, your axes they fall. Oh, and that's all

Oh, your axes they fall
Yes, your axes just fall. And that's, and that's all
And that's all, and that's all
And that's all, and that's all

Oh, no! It doesn't, it doesn't seem so...
It doesn't, no! Doesn't it seem so...?
Oh, what a pity that it doesn't seem so...
That your axes they just...
