inside Gorky Park

150 calories

are not sufficient for a day of war

and a single stein of beer

has me asking for more

i'm calling London on my phone

hoping someone British is home

"cause Moscow went dark

the lights simply went out 

inside Gorky Park

a wild bear hands out abuse

chasing its' tail

cooking the goose

the ghost of Beria is secretly loose

and no one is answering 

8 days a week

i'm afraid to take a look

but have a quick peek!

it's about what I expected:

a tangle of lies

ordinary working comrades

within a deception of spies

everything coming up roses

so nothing to criticize 

the extreme lows and infrequent highs

no rocking the boat

watching it capsize

150 calories

are not sufficient for a day of war

and a single stein of beer

has me asking for more

i'm calling London on my phone

hoping someone British is home

"cause Moscow went dark

the lights simply went out 

inside Gorky Park.
