Sympathy Lyrics
[00:00.24] I think I take myself too serious
[00:02.35] It's not that serious
[00:05.06]
[00:31.44] Alone in someone's bedroom
[00:33.60] She firmly took my hand
[00:35.66] The isolation ended
[00:37.67] I began to understand
[00:39.52] In the ping-pong match of constant desire
[00:41.88] I was never gonna get ahead
[00:43.15] 'Cause I was looking in the mirror
[00:47.51] Now we've got that sympathy
[00:49.83] What I'm to you
[00:50.82] You are to me
[00:52.08] Let's go
[00:54.46]
[00:59.69] Judeo-Christianity
[01:01.70] I'd never heard the words
[01:03.69] Enemies for centuries
[01:05.63] Until there was a third
[01:07.44] In the ping-pong match of constant desire
[01:09.88] I was never gonna get ahead
[01:11.05] 'Cause I was looking in the mirror
[01:15.84] Now we've got that sympathy
[01:17.71] What I'm to you
[01:18.99] You are to me
[01:19.83] Let's go
[01:22.21]
[01:27.88] Diego García
[01:29.85] Surrounded by the waves
[01:31.83] Lonely in the ocean
[01:33.52] But in every single way
[01:35.42] It was full of love
[01:39.10] In the warmth fed a feeling
[01:43.78] Now we've got that sympathy
[01:45.86] What I'm to you
[01:46.85] You are to me
[01:47.91] Let's go
[01:50.15]
[01:55.86] I didn't have your sympathy
[01:57.90] But I knew where to start
[01:59.98] Explaining to you patiently
[02:01.86] That the one who broke my heart
[02:03.58] Would have broken yours
[02:07.34] And thrown the pieces in the river
[02:11.78] Now we've got that sympathy
[02:13.63] What I'm to you
[02:14.76] You are to me
[02:15.86] Let's go
[02:18.12]
[03:07.41] Desperate for an enemy
[03:10.25] But too afraid to kill
[03:11.86] Use the pain of someone else
[03:13.74] And triumph for their will
[03:15.58] And spill the blood
[03:18.95] Of the arrogant mosquitoes
[03:24.19] Now we've got that sympathy
[03:25.72] What I'm to you
[03:26.94] You are to me
[03:27.99] Let's go
[03:28.28]
