Oh, oh, oh
Sitting here with nothin’ to do
Sitting here thinkin’ only of you
But you’ll never get out of there
She’ll never get out of there.
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But she’ll never get out of there
She’ll never get out of there
I don’t care, wohoho

When I saw her on the corner
She told me told me told me told me
She wouldn’t go far
Ooh, now I know I’m so much in love
‘Cause she’s the only girl that I’m ever thinking of

About Lyrics and Chain Saw by Ramones

When you decide to study the lyrics to Chain Saw, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1976 song by Ramones. Some of the lyrics to Chain Saw have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Ramones and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Chain Saw if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Chain Saw" means the words set to the music of Chain Saw, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Ramones. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Chain Saw and the lyrics to Chain Saw are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Ramones who came here looking just for the lyrics to Chain Saw, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
