She’s the best there ever was.
She thinks real hard and doesn’t fuss.
Lord knows I’m a lucky man.
If there’s something she doesn’t like
she’ll go and fix it up real nice,
like the dirt ingrained in my hands.
She keeps telling me to keep an ear to the ground,
says she hears them stir when I’m not around.
They say envy has a place in every household.
They say they caught us in the act
of accepting facts
and that it isn’t too late to do what you’re told.

Irina I got you.

Well call it whatever you will.
I’ve been sitting inside my cell
waiting for someone to post bail
before I board the train.
She’s a nervous wreck.
All existence is on deck.
Don’t expect a homerun to numb the pain.
How could they do us sooo wrong?
Ten years is sooo long.
I’ll die in Siberia of a cold heart.
Irina draw a picture
of fur coats in the summer
when the whole world was the sum of 2 parts.

Irina I need you.

Can you promise to forget me?
My memory will be misery.
They say every man dies alone.
Do emotions really bleed
when a tree is still a seed?
I’ve seen the world burn
but they say it has grown.
If we escape from those prisons
we can make it our mission
to flee the state and start anew.
There’ll be chocolate covered mountains
and fruit punch water fountains.

All from me,
All to you.

Irina I got you.

Comrade Irina is it alright
if I don’t go to sleep tonight?
Its been so long since I saw you.
Please forgive my shaky legs.
I’m anxious for the world ahead.
It’s not the world that I was brought into.
