Elijah

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
