Turbulence Lyrics - Zevon Warren

written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music BMI 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Well you can talk about your perestroika 

And that's all right for you 

But, Comrade Schevardnadze, tell me 

What's a poor boy like me to do? 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Well, we've been fightin' with the mujahaddin 

Down in Afghanistan 

Comrade Gorbachev, can I 

Go back to Vladivostok, man? 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

(Russian lyrics-the friend of a friend says this might be a translation) 

lost city on the red desert 

I hear voices of enemies from everywhere 

I miss my mother very much 

"Village is lost in the red desert. 

On all sides, silence of an enemy. 

And we want to see our mothers." (that's another guess from another 

friend-of-a-friend..thanks...) 

(note from zevonfan1: I'm wondering...could this be Yevteshenko?) 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me 

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
