America is Behind (Soviet metal song.)

[onethousandknives]

He'd chosen quite a fortunate path
Went around the world in 20 minutes
Had seen the foreign billboards' lights
Had seen the fairy ladies' smiles

He didn't step on the gas, didn't shiver in the wind
Before bed he would read a popular magazine
With color illustrations of
Liverpool, Singapore and Hanoi

Australia's behind
Europe is behind
Antarctica's behind
The whole world lays before him
Italy's behind
Sahara's behind
Japan is behind
The whole world lays before him
America's behind...

He understood that cruises are a dangerous caprice
Anything might happen, on your way
A tender breeze might turn into evil storm
And it can be complicated to obtain a visa
