The Mountain Goats - Elijah lyrics

Streak the windows Smear the walls with coconut oil, yeah Fill the cast-iron kettle With water and magnolia blossom Let it boil Let the water roll Let the fire takes its toll I'm coming home, I'm coming home Dust off the idols Give them something to eat I think they're hungry I know I'm starving half to d**h I know you're waiting I know you've been waiting for a long, long time And I'm coming home I'm coming home Set the table Those three extra places One for me, one for your doubts And one for God Let the incense burn in every room Feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb Feel the future kicking in your womb I'm coming home, I'm coming home
