Lyrics

Axis

[Verse 1: Mark Lanegan]

I came down with a fever

The catacombs, they were filled

Lucifer within my larynx

Clothing a sarcophagus

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Lanegan]

Baby set my head on fire

Every man is born to die

The captain called me out on a carpet boys

You know I got a tear in my eye

[Chorus: Mark Lanegan]

I have been lost and wandering

A wanderer I remain

Met Judas in west Texas

Tried to take my name

Now I am lost and wandering

And wandering I am plain

Will the moon come off its axis

Before I lose my mind?

[Verse 2: Mark Lanegan]

I came down with a sickness

Pouring down just like rain

Red, red sun in the evening

Red, red heart full of pain

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Lanegan]

Baby set my head on fire

Every man is born to die

The captain called me out on a carpet boys

You know I got a tear in my eye

[Chorus: Mark Lanegan]

I have been lost and wandering

A wanderer I remain

Met Judas in west Texas

Tried to take my name

Blood is worth much more than money

That's a poison crown

Tell the snake that bit me honey

It's gonna take me down

Now I am lost and wandering

And wandering I am plain

Will the moon come off its axis

Before I lose my mind?

[Guitar Solo: Mark Morton]

[Outro: Mark Lanegan]

Will the moon come off its axis?

Will the moon come off its axis?

Will the moon come off its axis?

Will the moon come off its axis?
