The Chainsaw Guy Live
You can see all kinds of weird shit in Rainelle
One time I was driving past the welfare apartments in town
When I looked up and saw something that changed my world
I was with my mother and we were going over the railroad tracks
When I looked up and saw this guy in a red sweat suit riding a twelve speed bicycle as fast as he could down the hill
What was even stranger was the twelve speed bike didn't even have a chain on it
And what was even stranger than that is that he was carrying a chainsaw in his right hand
Not only was he riding a bike and carrying a chainsaw at the same time but get this: the chainsaw was running
We sat at the railroad tracks and I pointed at the man on the hill and I asked my mother
"What in the hell is that guy doing?"
My mother looked up at the guy and then she said
"I don't know"
We rolled up over the train tracks and on down the road
I twisted my head around and kept watching the guy riding his bike and carrying a chainsaw
I asked again
"Why is that guy carrying a chainsaw?"
My mother just shook her head and said
"I don't know, I really don't"
And by this time we were driving on down the road and I couldn't see him anymore
I knew there was something about him that meant something
And if I ever found out what it was that maybe I'd finally know the meaning of this life
