When I first met her
She was in a bathroom gown
Talked to me from inside her home
She said we're drowning
Got killers all around
People dashing too and fro
No sanctuary to be found

And we're fighting for survival
In a raggedy neighborhood
We're living off the sea
Our parents and our ancestors
Were bought by the economy
They're becoming you and me
Becoming you and me

So we're cleaning
Polishing
Remembering food queues and Fame
Washing
Training
Reliving cold wars again
(There's a whirlpool in my brain)

We walked down the hill
In a misty haze to go meet
There were bad men playing worse men
But the pieces would not speak
Saw wolves in sheep's clothing
They were masters of this game
They were tugging at the heartstrings
Of the peaceful and the meek
Grazing on misery
They cried out for all to see
Their velvet gloves and iron fists
Moving us how they pleased

But some they were wise
They could see right through the game
They waited for the pawns to fall
As the Bishops made their moves
The Queen was ready to die
But she left the King exposed
The Knights attacked in a pincer move
And the Castles fell to ruin

The King was killed
And the Queen died
When the Knights attacked in a pincer move
And the Castles fell to ruin
The Castles fell to ruin
