Intro:
Verse:
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
n..
gonna swim with all my might just to get away from you.. and
all this oil on the water oil on the water
now I kissed you once and I kissed you twice could not stop at that
cuz your kisses are like her-o-in... Oh..
the monkey on my back
wind it is A howling and the waves are horse's white
n..
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 (SOLO)
oil on the water
the sea is full of flames and
it might burn out by morn'in (by morn'in) but it might not just
the same (just the same) cause a higher tide is turning
n..
right before my eyes something is burning and now I realize it's
just oil on the water oil on the water
oil on the water
oil on the water on this troubled sea sailors you and
me..... O-I-L and water O-I-L .....
repeat to fade.....
