Russian Coney Island

[Verse 1]

No longer under our protection, yeah

Just thought that everyone'd forgotten her

She hoped one day she'd get your attention, yeah

But by now she knows there is no moral code

[Pre-Chorus]

Like in times before roads, no adults in control

Only beasts that eat meat right off the bone

Like a child on the phone that is never coming home

On a long human leash, not a stray

[Chorus]

I didn't want all this sorrow to think about

I want to drop it on the world to figure out

And now she's crying cause she is forever there

Stuck inside a Russian Coney Island lair

I didn't want a whole summer to figure out

Or think or dream or talk or write or sing about

"You should be proud of yourself kid, you're killing it"

And now you're working Russian Coney Island, babe

[Post-Chorus]

Running through the forest, just like all before us

They'll be coming for us, where do we go now?

How can we ignore it? Light a candle for us

Shut the fuck up, Boris, what do we do now?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Some people'd look in her direction, yeah

But no chance to start over or try again

Guess she just needed some direction, yeah

Going toward the light might be more merciful

[Pre-Chorus]

Like in times before roads, not much meat on the bone

Things they go as they go but they go slow (Woo)

Animals that I hear as they crawl inside my wall (Woo)

Make me feel less alone, is that weird?

[Chorus]

I didn't want all these horrors to think about

I wanna drop it on the world to figure out

But I regret it cause I am forever here

And playing Russian Coney Island for you, dear

Now I am crying for nothing eternally

And gotta blame it on the mob, obviously

"You should be proud of yourself kid, you're crushing it"

Cause now we're running Russian Coney Island, babe

[Post-Chorus]

Running through the forest, just like all before us

They'll be coming for us, where do we go now?

How can they ignore us? Light a candle for us

Shut the fuck up, Boris, what must we do now?

[Bridge]

What do you want? What do you say?

Hey, you always look the other way

What do you want? What would you say?

If it was any vision, left of dead

[Instrumental Outro]
