On the afternoon of August 18th, 1973
Five young people in a Volkswagon van ran out of gas
On a farm road in Central Texas
Four of them were never seen again
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, six, six
The next morning the one survivor, Sally Hardesty Enright
Was picked up on a roadside
Blood-caked and screaming murder
Sally said she had broken out of a window in hell
The girl babbled a mad tale
A cannibal family in an isolated farmhouse
Chainsawed fingers and bones
Her brother, her friends hacked up for barbeque
Chairs made of human skeletons
Then she sank into catatonia
Chairs made of human skeletons
Texas lawmen mounted a month-long manhunt
But could not locate the macabre farmhouse
They could find no killers and no victims
No facts; no crime
Officially, on the records the Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened
