Little Russian Girl

god bless you lana,
little russian girl
for talking to me just when I needed it most
god bless you lana,
russian gothic girl
for talking to me just when I needed it most

I'm sorry that your mama
is far away in russia,
and she can't come see you
and you can't go see her

and I'm sorry your first marriage
ended in divorce
and your first husband felt he had to lock you in a cage

and sorry that the second one is making you unhappy
cause now your husband doesn't understand his wife at all

and most I get so sorry
you're married and you can't
drive up the coast tomorrow
and lay on your day off

but anyway lana
god bless you lana
for talking to me just when I needed it most

I'm glad the coffee shop wasn't busy at all
you saved me from a night of trying to scrape myself
off the wall

I just let another one walk out of my life
a sweet bird who always kept such a nice nest
for a while I came back
but finally I told her
keep your pretty eggs warm
for somebody else

and now I see her eyes in everybody's eyes
and I can't help thinking that I'm just a fool
I cried at the strip show I cried at the stoplights
I cried at the howard stern movie I cried
right now I could cling to just about anyone

so god bless you lana
little russian girl
for talking to me just when I needed it most
and if you weren't married
I might be with you now
and we'd be holding on so tight cause if we let go
the world would start spinning clear out of control
thanks for talking to me when I needed you most

I'm glad the coffee shop wasn't busy at all
you saved me from a night of trying to scrape myself
off the wall

god bless you lana little russian girl
for talking to me just when I needed you most
god bless you lana little russian girl
for talking to me just when I needed you most
