This bullet holes of days gone by
The clay and mortar that shocks the city skies
It leaves the old men sleeping in the night
Living under bridges with just there candle-light

They'll hold you down, they'll see you cry
You're living in the shadow of the old soviet light
They'll hold you down, they'll watch you die
Have fun when you're travelling on the transiberian
Railway line

Well this is just my maverick point of view
On my transibereanpoint to prove
I see the people and ther strangled real tight
Living in the shadow of an old soviet light

They'll hold you down, they'll see you cry
You're living in the shadow of the old soviet light
They'll hold you down, they'll watch you die
Have fun when you're travelling on the transiberian
Railway line

So what would Stallin say
He'd probably drop dead
And heve have to pray
He said that death
Would solve all our problems

He ruled with an iron fist
We never really knew
The haunting twist
Have fun when you are
Living in your shadow

Well this is just my maverick point of view
On my transibereanpoint to prove
I see the people and ther strangled real tight
Living in the shadow of an old soviet light

They'll hold you down, they'll see you cry
You're living in the shadow of the old soviet light
They'll hold you down, they'll watch you die
Have fun when you're travelling on the transiberian
Railway line
