Biography:
Camper Van Beethoven is an alternative rock band that was founded in 1983 in Redlands, California, though the band soon moved to Santa Cruz, California. Camper Van Beethoven mixed elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, country, and acid rock into an eclectic, catchy and sometimes mysterious ensemble, years before the so-called alternative rock moniker came to mainstream attention.
The group's trademark violin-coated melodies and their ironic take on American culture put them one step away from being a novelty act in the eyes of many critics.

Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 Asus2
[Verse 1]
D G Em Asus2 Asus2 Asus2
Why do lovers park down deserted lanes?
D G Em Asus2 Asus2
near haunted houses or homes for the insane?
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G
Like a deformed son who was locked in a shed
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G Gsus2
Later escaped when he chopped off their heads
[repeat Intro]

[Verse 2]
D G Em Asus2 Asus2 Asus2
Why do axe murderers only attack
D G Em Asus2 Asus2
when you're partially nude or you're taking a bath?
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G
Though there are times I feel softer than most
Em A D G Gsus2 G Gsus2
Somedays like yogurt and some days like toast
[Verse 3]
D G Em Asus2 Asus2 Asus2
Sorority girls and fraternity boys
D G Em Asus2 Asus2
Always deflowered - they're rich and they're spoiled
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G
So we never feel bad when Aunt Betty, who's dead
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G Gsus2
surprises them lying on her wedding bed
[Verse 4]
D G Em Asus2 Asus2 Asus2
When we're making love now, I feel so exposed
D G Em Asus2 Asus2
Might you impale me or turn into those
Em A D G Gsus2 G
creatures that feed on the flesh of the living
Em Asus2 D G Gsus2 G Gsus2
They hide in the corn between June and Thanksgiving
