Condor Ave Lyrics by Elliott Smith

Condor Ave Lyrics

    She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
    And she locked the car and slipped past
    Into rythmic queitude
    Lights burning
    Voice dry and hoarse
    I threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
    The feel over each other
    I fell onto my knees
    The sound of the car driving off made me feel diseased
    A sick like you hear at the fairground
    Now i'm picking up to put away anything of yours 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
    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 ever 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 you'll never get
    You're in your oldsmobile driving past the moon
    Headlights burning bright ahead of you
    And someone's burning 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
