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
And follow in your rush too
Hang on, street savant
My bank in my pocket
How far you think you'll take us
You're like a party i heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
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 the wall
Invite me
But i'm always watching you through a keyhole
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
You can undress me, anyway
