Waiting on a Wave

[Verse 1]
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 tediously Sophoclean
To look for signs of poetry
In the golden litter
And the tinfoil shining

[Chorus]
Wave
I'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, you'll be safe"

[Verse 2]
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 velvet cloak
I see your pitchfork shining

[Chorus]
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"
