St. Vincent - Waiting On A Wave Lyrics

St. Vincent Lyrics

"Waiting On A Wave"
(from "The Nowhere Inn" soundtrack)

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"
