[Verse 1]
And you hoisted the camera up onto the table
Your legs crushing wine like a Serbian fable
I sing to the moon and it cracks into shards
Stains your blood honey cold like a samovar's mouth

[Pre-Chorus]
And Ursula’s drinkin', and Georgie is drinkin'
And Danny is drinkin’, the whole crowd is drinkin'
We're all in a song by a Russian composer
The firing squad's on, we sing for our lives!

[Chorus]
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da da da da da raaa!
Da ba da ba da ba da
Ya da da da ra da ra da!

[Verse 2]
"Sing me a song about Spain, Foreman Terror"
"I'll sing you my eyes that are filled up shit!"
Then he shipwrecked the ballad, the galleys unspooling
The restaurant came back, life was pale-fingеred through
The three sisters laugh, this timе they're from Poland
My boots on the chair, I fall through the melody
And Ursula fires rounds, of bullets and lyrics
Accordion roulette, she sings for her life
[Pre-Chorus]
And Ursula's drinkin', and Georgie is drinkin’
And Danny is drinkin’, the whole crowd is drinkin'
We’re all in a song by a Russian composer
The firing squad's on, we sing for our lives!

[Chorus]
Ya da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da da da da da raaa!
Da ba da ba da ba da
Da da da da ra da ra da!

[Bridge]
Oh, Hannah, take my life
I give it willingly!
Will our wedding portrait be old like rich wine?
My life is overflowing
I step down from the table
My heart's your violin when you take my hand and dance!
Ah la la yai dai yara rara ra ra ra ra
Ya ra ra ra ra ra ra
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Verse 3]
And I followed you both from the Serbian restaurant
My paranoid shadow eating the gas light
The rabbi once told me that when you're betrothed
You should mourn for the pathways that suddenly close off
Of the vines that were ripening, whose grapes suddenly wither
Each bride now receding, each child that won’t be
And if you took a portrait you'd see her descending
The stairs of the subway, away from my life
And Ursula's desperate, she lost all her money
The three sisters weep, will they ever see Tartar?
The restaurant is closing, the candles go out
They turn on the light, there's that old ugly feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
And Ursula's drinkin', and Georgie is drinkin'
And Danny is drinkin', the whole crowd is drinkin'
We're all in a song by a Russian composer
The firing squad's on, sing for your lives!

[Chorus]
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!
Eee- (Da da da ra ra)
-eee- (Da da da ra ra)
-eee! (Da ba da ra da ra ra ra ra!)
Da da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
Da da da da da raaa! ([?])
Da ba da ba da ba da
Da da da da ra da ra da
Da da da ra da ra da!!!
[Outro]
And I have been drinking, I've been drinking
I've been... drinking...
And I've been drinking
We're all in a song by a Russian composer
You lifted the camera, and fired your shot!
