Dilettante - St. Vincent

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

And follow in your house too

Hang on, street savant

My bank in my back pocket

How far you think it’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’t undress me, anyway
