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 Garcia, surrounded by the waves

Lonely in the ocean, but in every other way

It was full of love

In the warmest fellow-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

Sympa—

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

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
