lirik lagu dilettante – st. vincent

oh elijah, don’t make me wait
n-body’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 lucky hole?
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 lucky hole?
let’s not forget
where we crawled from

oh elijah, don’t make me wait
what is so pressing?
you can’t undress me, anyway
