You part the waters
The same ones that I'm drowning in
You lead your casual slaughters  
And I'm the one who helps you win
You've got your grand piano

You don't even play piano
I'm the one who plays piano
You don't even play piano
You part the waters  

The same ones that I'm thirsty for 
You invite your friends to tea  
But when it's me you lock the door
You've got your credit cards  

And you thank your lucky stars. 
But don't forget the ones who foot the bill
You've got your grand piano
And you don't even play piano 

I'm the one who plays piano
You don't even play piano
But you part the waters
