Oil & Water Lyrics

You cry over spilt milk
You keep your tears in a jar
You think the world is gonna end tomorrow
Ain't it beautiful how different we are

You're the world's greatest chancer
Money seems to fall through your hands
Yeah your dance is beautifully wounded
No one really understands

I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are

I see you move through the shadows
How can I know who you are
Watching the world from the edge of danger
From your galaxy of stars

I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water

Now here we are now
Pathological strangers
You choose the day
I'll fall apart

Lookin' in from the outside
What can you see clearly
You and me
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are

Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water
