Dilettante by St. Vincent Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, Elijah
Don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red

[Verse 2]
Oh, Elijah
Don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the wall

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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?
[Chorus]
You're like a party I heard through a wall
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

[Verse 3]
Oh, Elijah
Don't make me wait
I got no patience
For an estrangement anyway

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wake up
Avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping

[Chorus]
You're like a party I heard through a wall
Invite me
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, Elijah
Don't make me wait
What is so pressing
That you can't undress me, anyway?
