Waiting On A Wave - St. Vincent

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 deviously Sophoclean

To look for signs of poetry

In the golden

And the ten foot 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

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»
