Oil & Water Lyrics

You were always slick

You almost had me in your grip

Was like a chemical reaction

When I tasted you on my lips

I didn't know

Some things don't go

Standing in the kitchen

Whipping up your ammunition

So who's gonna be the victim

Of this vicious mixture

Now I know

Some things don't go

From the start you've been trying to turn me into vapor

Pull me apart 'till my molecules were all unstable

Light the stove and let it all explode while

One of us sinks to the bottom

That's why you don't mix oil and water

Bring it to a boil

Later wrap it up in foil

While you're flirting with disaster

You can't see it's about to spoil

Now you know

Some things don't go

You can see it in the hinges every door here has been slammed

And we just try to fixed them just to open them again

But now we know

Some things don't go

From the start you've been trying to turn me into vapor

Pull me apart 'till my molecules were all unstable

Light the stove and let it all explode while

One of us sinks to the bottom

That's why you don't mix oil and water

BRIDGE/INSTRUMENTAL

From the start you've been trying to turn me into vapor

Pull me apart

Oh

From the start you've been trying to turn me into vapor

Pull me apart 'till my molecules were all unstable

Light the stove and let it all explode while

One of us sinks to the bottom

That's why you don't mix oil and water
