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
