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’
