I was sitting in Trieste
I was moving further west
With the juggernaut I was feeling happy and trusting
I had no idea at all
That the moves you'd make that Fall
Would give all my chances a real downwards adjusting
I could only watch in pain
At your massive centre gain, oh,

"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back
"Stab! Stab!", you suddenly switched your attack
"Stab! Stab!", as you moved your fleets through the Black
And I sit in my chair unhappily
Wondering what made you start attacking me, so
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back, oh,
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back.

Through the game you'd been my friend
But those moves caused this to end
I just can't believe I could have been so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Now you've taken Ankara my whole position is breaking

And despite the press I send
I just know I can't defend, so:

"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back
"Stab! Stab!", you suddenly switched your attack
"Stab! Stab!", as you moved your fleets through the Black
And I sit in my chair unhappily
Wondering what made you start attacking me, so
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back, oh,
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back, oh,
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back, oh,
"Stab! Stab!" I cried as your knife hit my back.
