Lyrics of Dilettante by St. Vincent
verse
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red
verse
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the wall
verse
Slow down, dilettante
So i can limp beside you
And follow in your rush too
verse
Hang on, street savant
My bank in my pocket
How far you think you'll take us?
chorus
You're like a party I heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a lucky hole?
Let's not forget, lets not forget
Why we crawled here
chorus
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
I got no patience for an estrangement, anyway
verse
Wake up, avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping
verse
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
verse
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
What is so pressing?
You can't undress me, anyway
outro
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red
