LYRICS

Oil On Water

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
So her fingers ran away with themselves'Till everything was documentedOur mind it was reaching outTo put into words what their bodies had doneThey lie together, ohOil on waterAnd they lie upon her, ohSomeone's daughterIt's a catalogue of modern mistakesHer words and legs wrapped around each manLeaving stories like digital crumbsAs she turns these nights into literatureThey lie together, ohOil on waterAnd they lie upon her, ohSomeone's daughterWhen they leave she sets about writing downAwkward body games all over townWarm affection runs through every wordWe're screens away but we're laughing with herThey lie together, ohOil on waterAnd they lie upon her, ohSomeone's daughterThey lie upon her, ohOil on water
