Elijah Songtext
von Frank Black

Wish I was back there in New England
Playin′ the dirt behind the bar
Shoutin' voices interminglin′ with
Little Italy from a car
Back on the rocks down in the harbor
Tryin' to push each other in
Wavin' hi to all the fishy boys
Goin′ to DC with the kin

Better go see Elijah
Cause he′s my only friend
Yeah there's only us two
It′s just us in the end
Better go see Elijah
I got nothing to say
But I know that it's okay
Go see now, go see now, go see now
What′s that you say?


On the bus down to Redondo
Got enough for single fare
Skatin' back into the condos
Breathin′ in that dirty air
You were right to never go back
If I had only done the same
Too many years I kept on tryin'
To win that California game

Better go see Elijah
Cause he's my only friend
Yeah it′s only us two
It′s just us in the end
Better go see Elijah
I got nothing to say
But I know that it's okay
Go see now, go see now, go see now
What′s that you say?

Wish I was back there in New England
Playin' the dirt behind the bar
I hear our voices interminglin′ with
Little Italy from a car
All the cliffs above the blue coast
Was that the last time that we were free?
Where has everybody gone to?
Was it only on you and me?


Better go see Elijah
Cause he's my only friend
Yeah there′s only us two
It's just us in the end
Better go see Elijah
I got something to say
I got something to say
