Behind the scenes[]

"Axolotl" is a song by the Veils from their 2016 studio album Total Depravity. The song, in an altered mix, was featured in "Part 15" of Twin Peaks (2017) and appeared on Twin Peaks (Music From The Limited Event Series). An added instrumental section played over the end credits of "Part 15."

Lyrics[]

I'm glowing bright, obsidian
Axolotl amphibian
Un-elemental chemical
Got me growing six black tentacles
A little nightmarish, a little maudlin
Good golly go get that kid some laudanum
Salvation's more than I can afford
Who needs the Devil when you've got the Lord?

Oh my soul
Losing control
Who built this heart?
Oh my God

Now sister Maggie's coming in fleet-foot
Baby's got a belly full of black soot
I got the feeling I better just stay put
And she'll love you better than any real man could
An accidental amphibian
I'm growing giddy as a Gideon
Another head for the chopping board
Who needs the Devil when you've got the Lord?

Oh my soul
Losing control
Who built this heart?
Oh my God
