Letra

It was August
Summer of '82
You had that rusty old car
And me
I had nothing better to do
You picked me up
We hit the road
Baby me and you
We shot out of town
Drivin' fast and hard
Leaving our greasy skid marks
In people's back yards
We were goin' nowhere
Just driving around
We were goin' in circles
And me, I was just hanging on
Like in that Annie Dillard book
Where she sees that eagle
With the skull of a weasel hanging from its neck
And here's how it happened, listen
Eagle bites the weasel
Weasel bites back
They fly up to nowhere
Weasel keeps hangin' on
Together forever
We were goin' nowhere
Just driving around
You did all the talking and me
I didn't make a sound
And if I open my mouth now
I'll fall to the ground
And if I opened my mouth now
There's so much I'd say
Like I can never be honest
Like I'm in it for the thrill
Like I've never loved anyone
And I never will
Eagle bites the weasel
Weasel bites back
They fly up to nowhere
Weasel keeps hangin' on
Together forever
I remember that old coat
My grandma used to wear
Made of weasels biting each other's tails
A vicious circle
An endless ride
On the back of an old woman
Eagle bites the weasel
Weasel bites back
They fly up to nowhere
Weasel keeps hangin' on
Together forever
And me?
I'm goin' in circles
Just circling around
And if I open my mouth now
I'll fall to the ground
