Dilettante

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 hall
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 hear 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?
