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 bu*ton 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
