Oil On Water
BASTILLE · Wild World 2016 · Track 16 of 20
Written by Dan Smith
So her fingers ran away with themselves 'Till everything was documented Our mind it was reaching out To put into words what their bodies had done
They lie together, oh Oil on water And they lie upon her, oh Someone's daughter
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
They lie together, oh Oil on water And they lie upon her, oh Someone's daughter
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
They lie together, oh Oil on water And they lie upon her, oh Someone's daughter
They lie upon her, oh Oil on water
