elliott - cricket blue lyrics

Loading...

elliott come in his raincoat to see me
elliott, holding a damp paper torch
it wasn’t long before i dreamed of elliott
lying in wait on the step of the porch

i bring out the bottles and all of the garbage;
who should i find in the street in my mind
but elliott, walking out late in the lamplight
grinning to see me in all my surprise?

but he don’t mean any harm
and strangers are dangerous only when you play the part
and you feel you were cold in the blood of your heart

elliott come to the sidewalk to see me
elliott knows all the ways i walk home
wherever i’m crossing, there i will find elliott
parked in his car with his sungl-sses on

everyone knows that you shouldn’t tempt elliott
your body as wet as a peach on the tongue
when you’re feeling tired, he’ll come to unburden you
the burden a virtue to fold in his palm

but you’re not the only one
it’s probably your vanity making you feel so alone
and he’s already gone, and what harm was done?

it wasn’t long before i dreamed of elliott
his presence run through me, a tangling thread
i dreamed his desire had thrived on indifference;
i tried it on like a beautiful dress

everyone knows when you don’t deny elliott
when none of your words feel as good as your own
you’re a frog swimming in boiling water
you answered the door when you shouldn’t be home

but what if you were wrong?
what once felt like graciousness pulled back the sheet you had hung
if you wouldn’t have thought, then he wouldn’t have come
