lyrics

Germany and England walk hand in hand
A secret agreement already planned
Gets in your back and reaches till the heart
Not that if I cared not that I had one

Leave your illusion under your bed
If she's real it's never really existed
The Queen strikes from the north neither the Runner rests
You are in the middle of a threesome game of chess

And you wish they were not holding you at bay
Or you still had one last pawn

Damn the Spanish postal inqusition
They executed both of the Politricks
I tried everything, I really did
To get them home to you

Heal your illusion with a dying tree
Take it to her from the hill
From the airport back to the house
I wish we moved contrariwise

I asked: "If I go back for a second Will I not find you here when I return?"
But I have already had the answer
As she did not reply
Minding not turn her face towards mine

And you wish you were out of low water
Nor teared asunder

You used those words of yours to make me confused
But you got involved and now you are lost too
And I might be colour blind 'coz I saw the signs as green
But they all turned out to be red
You're a carcrash
