Elijah Lyrics

Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip
and nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip
He's long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin
and his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin

The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Oh Elijah!

Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day
and even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away
So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract
and so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack


Although it's November, I know we won't make it to christmas
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Oh Elijah!


Elijah once told me in private that he'd like a break
although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake
And so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent
and now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant

All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Oh Elijah!

Lake Street Dive is an American band founded in 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts. The band's original members are Rachael Price (lead vocals), Mike "McDuck" Olson (trumpet, guitar), Bridget Kearney (upright bass), and Mike Calabrese (drums). Akie Bermiss (keyboards) joined the band on tour in 2017 and is on their 2018 album. Lake Street Dive started at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. The band was named after a street with many dive bars in Olson's hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

After meeting as fellow students at the New England Conservatory in Boston, the band was hand picked by Minneapolis trumpet/guitar player Mike Olson and named after an actual neighborhood of seedy bars in his hometown. Vocalist Rachael Price came from outside Nashville, Tennessee, stand-up bassist Bridget Kearney was an Iowa native, while drummer Mike Calabrese called Philadelphia home. “I wasn’t only impressed with their musicianship,” says Olson, who acquired the nickname “McDuck” while at the conservatory for his reclusive ways. “They were also a lot of fun just to hang out with. The first four years of rehearsals were more like glorified dinner parties.” Read more on Last.fm.
