St. Vincent - Dilettante lyrics

Oh, Elijah don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red

Oh, Elijah don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the wall

Slow down dilettante
So I can limp beside you
I’m following your houndstooth hang on
Street savant my bank in my back pocket
How far you think it'd take us?

You're like a party I heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
But let's not forget let's not forget
Let's not forget why we crawled here

Oh, Elijah don't make me wait
I got no patience for an estrangement anyway

Wake up avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping

You're like a party I heard through a wall
Invite me
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
But let's not forget let's not forget
Let's not forget where we crawled from

Oh, Elijah don't make me wait
What is so pressing
That you can't undress me, anyway?
