Richmond Fontaine - The Chainsaw Sea lyrics

In the trees, in the trees, there's a bar called the Chainsaw Sea Where Claude Murray drinks Rainier and lives on speed He stays in the back room with his wife Melanie Below the concrete is buried the fat man from Mississippi and A hooker he met in Clatskanie who was on her knees one night in the Eagle Lodge bathroom and started laughing at it In the trees, in the trees there's a bar no one wants to see Hidden in 300 acres owned by a speed freak, Angus King He ain't left his house in St. Johns since 2003 He opened the bar in the seventies when he left the army addicted to speed They pulled all his teeth in 1993 The Chainsaw Sea The girl from the auto parts store was crying, on a logging road sobbing From the hill Claude was always watching every week the girl broke down looking over a clear cut valley His heart all it did was ache making his mind shake Then he'd beat Melanie and Melanie would sing, ‘Harder'
