Speechless Lyrics |
||
 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 If I open my mouth now I`ll fall to the ground If I could open my mouth. There`s so much I would say. Like I can never be honest. Like I`m in it for the thrill. Like I 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. I`m circling around. And if I open my mouth now I`ll fall to the ground. |
