Laura Jansen Elijah song lyrics

Oh my love, it's a long way downto the bottom

When you're high and mighty and sacred, sacred

But I can't live my life

Born in sin and holdin' it in

Cause if we are goin' down

Then I am goin' down in style

In a big black car I'll ride

You take me over to the other side

Elijah, Elijah Oh

When I contemplate 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 lookin' 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 they'd like to see

Another Mary Polly and a child

So cover up and sit tight

Button up and don't fight

On your knees, beggin' please

For someone to save me

Oooh

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 yeah

Elijah, Elijah

Sing it!

When you get to the other side, girl

Yeah, we know how very hard you tried, girl

But we're laughin' on the other side

Oh, we're dancin' on the other side

Yeah, we're shoutin' on the other side

In a big black car you ride

Just take your time, take your time, take your time
