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
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, 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 heard through a wall
Invite me
But 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?
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
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, 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 heard through a wall
Invite me
But 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?

"The next song is a love letter to New York City, where we live, but sort of like an 'I love you, but I also kind of hate you' kind of letter. If you've been to New York, I think you'll understand. It's like 'I love you so much, you're so amazing, but I'm addicted to you and also please come and take your shoe from my throat.' (Comments before live performance 4/18/12 in San Diego youtube.com/watch). Still not sure I know exactly what she means, but it's an incredibly seductive sound.
