You make me feel so stupid When we play chess The way you en passant all nonchalant You chase me into castle From there I watch you intently The way the Russians watched Bobby Fischer In his hotel room But while I wait for a move to develop I become the Boredest Spazsky My mind in a stalemate As I try to crush your Sicilian defenses As much as I harangue You leave me in zugzwang Which confuses my feeble mind For I may be a pawn But I'm the king pawn Which means the board usually revolves around me But your queen takes that instantly And I'm left in a fool's checkmate
I wish you could see things from my side of the board You'd see how desperately I wanted the king All the complex and unique obstacles in the way But instead you just sit there And laugh at me losing all my pieces trying to reach you
