Russian Roulette Lyrics

The Russian bear is hungry
He's dancing in his chains
And the trainer is melancholy
Feeling low and grey, hey
And he would have to dig
For miles underground of soil
If not for Frenchmen dizzy from turning
Their backs on everyone's story
And everybody's disgust
Everybody's distrust
Distrust, disgust

Well, behind the sanitary napkin beauty
That oozes out of each and every song
He harnesses the blood (bank?) (soul?)
The (park bench?) creatures that belong
Hey, John Wayne, he can feel no pain
'Cause he's got no brain
He's riding horses to Apocalypse and back
Just like a cross eyed Paul McCartney
Like another cross eyed Paul McCartney

For (hard-judged?) creatures that belong above the (weathered tan)
That material safety ain't a safety found in numbers
But they're never getting (slumber)
And they're never getting some
And the getting's all gone
Another big (gain?)
Hey now, beauty comes last
Safety first and beauty comes last
Safety first 'cause (spiteful?) caravan goes last
Antique caravan goes last

Well Delilah, is your (envy flowing?)
Samson's shorn and hoarse
With fifty caliber bullets
For the trudgers in the human race
Japan, Japan, Japan, we love you
They carve you like Californian turkey
Feed you hungry missiles sucking
The moist vagina of the (world/war)
Hey, leave it
And Russia is defecting
Russia, Russia is defecting
Russia is defected, is defective, is defected, is defecting, is defecting

What's wrong with the Motherland?
What's wrong with the Fatherland?
And here comes the China Ku Klux Klan
And elect black Communist surgeons in case you need them
Elect Communist surgeons
Elect black Communist surgeons
Elect black Communist surgeons today in case you need them
In the rain
If it rains
When it rains
It never rains on the Russian Party
Rains
If it rains, if it rains
If it rains on the Communist Party
If it rains, if it rains
If it rains on the Communist Party
If it rains, if it rains
If it rains on the Communist Party
