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
