   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.....
