Lyrics "USSR":
Day in the night Taking places in the train to Moscow Now I’m coming back to drink some iced vodka
Landscape in white Sun is shining through the icicles I’m dancing in the snow to balalaika
Time can go by But the Russian girls don’t ever seem to leave my mind Fine, don’t see why I should even try to leave my heart behind
U.S.S.R. I’m back into the U.S.S.R. U.S.S.R. I’m back into the U.S.S.R.
Jumpin' is right Now this time I’m on vacation And I’m going to have some fun rocking in Gorki Park.

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember I remember don't worry How could I ever forget it's the first time The last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up No you don't fool me But the hurt doesn't show But the pain still grows Some stranger to you and me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
