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 lookin' in the mirror

Judeo-Christianity, I'd never heard the words
Enemies for centuries, until there was a third

Diego Garcia, surrounded by the waves

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
