Elliott Smith – Condor Ave. Lyrics  Share

From Elliott Smith's album: Roman Candle

She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
And she locked the car and slipped past
Into rhythmic quietude
Lights burning
Voice dry and hoarse
I threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
The chimes fell over each other
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
A drunk man sits by the gate she^,s driving through
Got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth
Looks like he^,s buried in the sand at the beach
I can^,t think about you driving off to leave barely awake
To take a little 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
[ Condor Ave. lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elliott-smith/condor-ave/ ]
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
Looking for some kind of clue
They never get uptight when a moth gets crushed
Unless a light bulb really loved him very much
I^,m lying down
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
