[Intro: Steve Lacy]

I think I take myself too serious

It's not that serious

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you, you are to me

Let's go

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you, you are to me

Let's go

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you, you are to me

Let's go

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you, you are to me

Let's go

[Bridge]

Sympa—

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

Let's go

Sympa—

[Verse 5]

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

[Chorus]

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you, you are to me

Let's go
