Tekst piosenki
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
