O My God

The Police · The 50 Greatest Songs [2009]

Everyone I know is lonely, and God's so far away

And my heart belongs to no one, so now sometimes I pray

Take the space between us, fill it up some way

Take the space between us, fill it up, fill it up



O my God you take the biscuit, treating me this way

Expecting me to treat you well, no matter what you say

How can I turn the other cheek

It's black and bruised and torn

I've been waiting since the day that I was born

Fit it up, fill it up, fill it up



Take the space between us, fill it up some way

Take the space between us, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up

Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up



The fat man in his garden, the thin man at his gate

My God you must be sleeping, wake up, it's much too late

Take the space between us, fill it up some way

Take the space between us, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up

Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up



Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet
