Oil on the Water Lyrics

Oil on the water
Flames across the sea
It's everywhere it's all around
Covers you and me
Down below the surface
Underneath the blue
Gonna swim with all my might
Just to get away from you
And all this oil on the water
Oil on the water


And now I kissed you once and I kissed you twice
But I could not stop at that
'Cos your kisses are like heroin
Oh the monkey on my back
Wind it is a howling and the waves are the horse's white
Two ships blown off-course we collided in the night
Now there's this oil on the water
Oil on the water, oil on the water, oil on the water
On this troubled sea
Sailors you and me

Oil on the water
Oh the sea is full of flames
And it might burn out by morning
Oh but it might not just the same
'Cos the higher tide is turning
Right before my eyes
Something is burning
And now I realise it's just this oil on the water
Oil on the water, oil on the water, oil on the water
On this stormy sea
We're sailors you and me
Oil on the water.
