* *
she took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
/ /
and she locked the car and slipped past
riff
into rhythmic quietude lights bur - ning
/
voice dry and hoarse
* *
i threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
/ /
the chimes fell over each other
riff
i fell onto my knees
/
the sound of the car driving off made me feel diseased
a sick shouting like you hear at the fairground
now i'm picking up to put away anything of your's that's still around
i don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
/ / / / /
it'll make a whisper out of you
* *
she took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
/
the fairground's lit
/ riff
a drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through
/
got his hat tipped bot - tle back in between his teeth
* * /
looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach
/ riff
i can't think about you driving off to leave barely awake
/
to take a lit - tle nap while the road is straight
i wish that car had never been discovered
they took away the bottle and the hat he was under
that's the one thing that he could never do
/ / / / /
and it'll make a whisper out of you
* *
she took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
/ /
cops were running around the scene
riff
looking for some kind of clue
/
they never get up - tight when a moth gets crushed
* *
unless a light bulb really loved him very much
/ /
i'm lying down
riff
blowing smoke from my cigarette
/
little whisper smoke signs that you'll never get
you're in your oldsmobile driving by the moon
headlights burning bright ahead of you
and someone's burning out, out on condor ave
/ / / / /
trying to make a whisper out of you
what a shitty thing to say
did you really mean it?
you never said a word to me about what passed between us
so now i'm leaving you alone
you can do whatever the hell you want to
/ / / / /
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
