Clallam County Sheriff's Chain Gang

lyrics

CLALLAM COUNTY SHERIFF'S CHAIN GANG

a hundred thousand miles
from the freakshow, singing in the rain
vanessa takes a drag and burns a hole
in the middle of the frame
and i don't know how
you can sing that song
under your load
when the clallam county sheriff's
got his chain gang workin' on the road

between the tooth and nail
you'll find a wise man wandering about
he's got his boots in a bundle
coz, no matter what, he can't figure it out
the way the wind blows
is like a million drops of ironic code
when the clallam county sherif's
got his chain gang workin' on the road

if you listen to the rustle
of the moth in the belly of the wood
you can hear a tiny song
beneath the strands of his polyester hood
and when the sun sets
and another night gets set up to explode
when the clallam county sheriff's
got his chain gang workin' on the road
