Went through seventeen great fears At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Where is your black handgun? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. What's that place without you now? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Need I remind you of that house once more? Naw, you still remember, that's for sure. Yes, anybody's life is only half complete, If you haven't walked Koretnyi Street. I'll bet you yes You lost seventeen good years At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Went through seventeen great fears At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Where is your black handgun? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. What's that place without you now? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Well, a while ago they changed it's name, Things are turning into a whole new game. No matter where you go to find what must be found: I betcha that Koretnyi Street is all around, I betcha yeah You lost seventeen good years At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Went through seventeen great fears At Bolshoy Karetnyi. Where the lights are on all night? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. What's that place without you now? At Bolshoy Karetnyi. |
