| Oh my love, it’s a long way down
|
| to the bottom
|
| when you’re high and mighty and sacred, sacred
|
| But I can’t live my life
|
| born in sin and holding it in cause if we’re all going down
|
| then I am going down in style
|
| In a big black car I’ll ride
|
| you take me over to the other side
|
| Elijah, Elijah
|
| When I complicate the matters of love
|
| They say pray, it’s the only way to get above
|
| Well baby, believe me, it’s easy to see how
|
| heaven is lost when you’re only looking up In a big black car I’ll ride
|
| you take me over to the other side
|
| Elijah, Elijah
|
| Oh I could be a good girl
|
| if that’s what you’d like to see
|
| A Mother Mary Pollyanna child
|
| so cover up and sit tight
|
| button up and don’t fight
|
| on your knees, begging please
|
| for someone to save me Well when the big day comes, we’ll know
|
| what really mattered most of all
|
| See I had a vision, all I did was listen
|
| and this what I saw
|
| Elijah, Elijah singing
|
| When you get to the other side, girl
|
| We’ll we know how very hard you tried, girl
|
| But we’re laughing on the other side
|
| And we’re dancing on the other side
|
| Yeah, we’re shouting on the other side
|
| In that big black car you ride
|
| Just take your time, take your time |
