I'm sorry, I'll wait awhile

You should be numb by now

The scotch and water smile

Is coming on your face,

like oil



A spider, and you're the fly

It's time for us to dance

I'll place you on satin sheets

And cover you with oil



And after the dance be done

You'll look a little pale

We will whisper the sweetest lies

And cover them with oil



Over and over I study your face in the light

Cause I may never be as close as I am tonight

Like oil
