Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I take myself too serious
It's not that serious
[Verse 2]
Alone in someone’s bedroom
She firmly took my hand
The isolation ended
I began to understand
[Verse 3]
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cuz I was looking in the mirror
[Verse 4]
Now we’ve got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let’s go
[Verse 5]
Judeo-Christianity
I never heard the words
Enemies for centuries
Until there was a third
[Verse 6]
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cuz I was looking in the mirror
[Verse 7]
Now we got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
[Verse 8]
Diego Garcia
Surrounded by the waves
Lonely in the ocean
But in every other way
It was full of love
And the warmest fellow-feelin'
[Verse 9]
Now we got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
[Verse 10]
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 throw the pieces in the river
[Verse 11]
Now we got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
[Verse 12]
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 mosquitos
[Verse 13]
Now we got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
