Lyrics Waiting On A Wave - St. Vincent

Waiting On A Wave

I took a walk down my old street
But a little thought occurred to me
I belong to the street more than it does to me
How deviously Sophoclean
To look for signs of poetry
In the golden
And the ten foot shining
Wave
I’m waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
«Oh Honey, you’ll be safe»
Oh baby, you’re so good to me
But these benzodiazepines
Make me foggy as a London day
Well fuck sentimentality
It’s for the weak and lazy
Under your
I see your pitchfork shining
Wave
I’m waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
«Oh Honey, you’ll be safe»
A wave
I’m waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
«Oh Honey, right this way»
