Lyrics for 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 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, lets 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 Oh Elijah, don't make me wait Nobody's winning The sharks are swimming in the red
