Oil on Water lyrics

[Verse 1]

So her fingers ran away with themselves

'Till everything was documented

Her mind it was reaching out

To put into words what their bodies had done

[Chorus]

They lie together, oh

Oil on water

And they lie upon her, oh

Someone's daughter

[Verse 2]

It's a catalogue of modern mistakes

Her words and legs wrapped around each man

Leaving stories like digital crumbs

As she turns these nights into literature

[Chorus]

They lie together, oh

Oil on water

And they lie upon her, oh

Someone's daughter

[Verse 3]

When they leave she sets about writing down

Awkward body games all over town

Warm affection runs through every word

We're screens away but we're laughing with her

[Chorus]

They lie together, oh

Oil on water

And they lie upon her, oh

Someone's daughter

They lie upon her, oh

Oil on water
