Elijah Lyrics - Frank Black

Wish I was back there in New England 

Playing in dirt behind the bar 

Our shouting voices intermingling 

With 'Little, little Willy' from the car 

Back on the raft down in the harbor 

Trying to push each other in 

Waving hi to all the fisher boys 

Going to deep-sea with their 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, got nothing to say 

But I know that's okay, go see him now, go see him now 

Go see him now, what's that you say? 

On the bus down to Redondo 

We've got enough for single fare 

Skating back down to the condos 

Breathing in that dirty air 

Well, you were right to never go back 

If I had only done the same 

Too many years I kept on trying 

To win that California game 

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, got nothing to say 

But I know that's okay, go see him now, go see him now 

Go see him now, what's that you say? 

Wish I was back there in New England 

Playing in dirt behind the bar 

I hear our voices intermingling 

With 'Little, little Willy' from the car 

On the cliffs above the blue coast 

Was that the last time we were free? 

And where has everybody gone to? 

Or was it only 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, got something to say 

I got something to say
