Sympathy

Lyrics

I think I take myself too serious
 It's not that serious
 ♪
 Alone in someone's bedroom
 She firmly took my hand
 The isolation ended
 I began to understand
 In the ping-pong match of constant desire
 I was never gonna get ahead
 'Cause I was looking in the mirror
 Now we've got that sympathy
 What I'm to you
 You are to me
 Let's go
 ♪
 Judeo-Christianity
 I'd never heard the words
 Enemies for centuries
 Until there was a third
 In the ping-pong match of constant desire
 I was never gonna get ahead
 'Cause I was looking in the mirror
 Now we've got that sympathy
 What I'm to you
 You are to me
 Let's go
 ♪
 Diego García
 Surrounded by the waves
 Lonely in the ocean
 But in every single way
 It was full of love
 In the warmth fed a feeling
 Now we've got that sympathy
 What I'm to you
 You are to me
 Let's go
 ♪
 I didn't have your sympathy
 But I knew where to start
 Explaining to you patiently
 That the one who broke my heart
 Would have broken yours
 And thrown the pieces in the river
 Now we've got that sympathy
 What I'm to you
 You are to me
 Let's go
 ♪
 Desperate for an enemy
 But too afraid to kill
 Use the pain of someone else
 And triumph for their will
 And spill the blood
 Of the arrogant mosquitoes
 Now we've got that sympathy
 What I'm to you
 You are to me
 Let's go
