Father tried to save me
He said believe in the spirit of god
Leave me alone
My mother tried to heal me
She said just feel me, just feel me
Now leave me alone
My brother tried to scold me
He tried to hold me, to mold me
Now leave me aloneMy sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand, but where I standAnd you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walkAnd then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water,
You're moving so elegantlyAnd it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burnsHe tired to convince me
It was shouting on the radio and TV screen
Leave me alone
My angels tried to mess me
Constantly testing and testing me
Now leave me alone
The devil tried to bless me,
Confessing the debt
Leave me aloneMy sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand, but where I standAnd you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walkAnd then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water,
You're moving so elegantlyAnd it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burnsThe world is trying to break me, trying to break me,
This world is trying to break me
Awww ohhhh I don't want to wait
