[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
