Fell Like An Axe - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Long spears of silence, public space, electric light

We landed on the coast of Alabama, ocean of leather, violent night

The sea was the color of lead, and the sky the color of smoke

And the circles of the moon keep vibrating, keeps vibrating

Moon sliced like a lime, a smooth green disc

Black sunset burned in your eyes a saline mist

Cool stars the color of ice, dark water, never darker than this

And the gentle coast keeps vibrating, keeps vibrating

When love lеaned on us, it fell like an axе, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah

Two horses racing each other in a fist of fog

There was blood on this beach and in the mood that wove itself between us all

We grip the night like prophets honey, one might call it holding on

The unholy ghosts keep vibrating, keep vibrating

And when the slow wind is strumming our bodies like a cheap guitar

When the freshly woken daylight meets the gentle wavelength of the human pause

Under these muted seagulls and the soft hands of the sun

Man, the silence, it will crush you like the lowest vibration

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, girl

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah

Are we ever qualified baby?

Tell me if I’m qualified baby, please

Am I ever qualified?

Are we ever qualified baby, please

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, girl

When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah
