St. Vincent - Waiting on a Wave lyrics

[St. Vincent - Waiting on a Wave lyrics]

I took a walk down my old street
But a little thought occurred to me
I belong to the street more
Than it does to me how tediously Sophoclean
To look for signs of poetry
In the golden litter and the tinfoil shining

Wave i'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, you'll be safe"

Oh, baby, you're so good to me
But these benzodiazepines
Make me foggy as a London day
Well, fuck sentimentality
It's for the weak and lazy
Under your velvet cloak
I see your pitchfork shining

Wave i'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, you'll be safe" a wave
I'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, right this way"
