Lyrics

[00:01.565]
[00:19.094] She took the Oldsmobile out past condor avenue
[00:23.864] And she locked the car and slipped past
[00:27.389] Into rhythmic quietude
[00:30.150] Lights burning
[00:32.451] Voice dry and hoarse
[00:35.004] I threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
[00:39.676] The chimes fell over each other
[00:43.582] I fell onto my knees
[00:45.482] The sound of the car driving off made me feel diseased
[00:50.522] A sick shouting like you hear at the fairground
[00:55.232] Now I'm picking up to put away anything of yours that's still around
[01:01.075] I don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
[01:05.040] It'll make a whisper out of you
[01:13.795] She took the Oldsmobile out past condor avenue
[01:18.388] The fairground's lit
[01:20.041] A drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through
[01:24.759] Got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth
[01:29.485] Looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach
[01:34.667] I can't think about you driving off to leave barely awake
[01:40.382] To take a little nap while the road is straight
[01:45.087] I wish that car had never been discovered
[01:49.308] They took away the bottle and the hat he was under
[01:55.367] That's the one thing that he could never do
[01:59.201] And it'll make a whisper out of you
[02:07.795] She took the Oldsmobile out past condor avenue
[02:12.619] Cops were running around the scene
[02:15.889] Looking for some kind of clue
[02:19.340] They never get uptight when a moth gets crushed
[02:23.417] Unless a light bulb really loved him very much
[02:28.473] I'm lying down
[02:31.324] Blowing smoke from my cigarette
[02:34.124] Little whisper smoke signs that you'll never get
[02:38.708] You're in your Oldsmobile driving by the moon
[02:43.463] Headlights burning bright ahead of you
[02:48.233] And someone's burning out out on condor avenue
[02:53.128] Trying to make a whisper out of you
[03:01.726] What a shitty thing to say
[03:04.528] Did you really mean it
[03:06.634] You never said a word to me about what passed between us
[03:11.713] So now I'm leaving you alone
[03:14.165] You can do whatever the hell you want to
[03:17.596] Na na na na na na
