Condore avenue


she took the oldsmobile out past condor avenue
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 avenue
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 avenue
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 avenue
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 yo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Elliott Smith, born Steven Paul Smith (1969-2003), was an American singer-songwriter and musician known for his introspective and melancholic music. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Smith moved to Oregon during his adolescence, where he began playing guitar and writing songs. In 1994, he released his debut album "Roman Candle", followed by other successes such as "Either/Or" (1997) and "XO" (2000). His music, characterized by delicate melodies, minimalist arrangements, and introspective lyrics that explored themes of depression, loneliness, and loss, gained him a devoted following worldwide. Smith was also known for his collaborations with other artists, including The Decemberists and Beck. His tragic death in 2003 from a drug overdose left a void in the American indie music scene. Among his most representative songs are "Between the Bars", "Needle in the Hay" and "Waltz #2".
