When you were 19, I first laid eyes on you The small stream that ran through the center of town carried your name to me Your hair was dark and your eyes were a frosty blue Then they put me in jail until you were 23 When you were 24, we took to drinking and dancing We boxed with our shadows like a couple of kangaroos And then we went down to Chechnya for the weekend Your eyes were glacial and your promises all rang true
And things are happening here while we sleep I can feel it in my boiling brain And I am dreaming in blood-red color When I see the stolypin car riding through the light rain They'll have to carry me out on my back They'll have to tear me to pieces, all right We are warm in our hidden room down here We've got stars in our eyes tonight
