Below, you will find the lyrics for Oil On Water by Bastille.
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 1
They lie together
Oil on water
And they lie upon her
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 2
They lie together
Oil on water
And they lie upon her
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 3
They lie together
Oil on water
And they lie upon her
Someone's daughter
They lie upon her
Oil on water
