Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus, solo and outro:
And here is Ivanovich
In his rocket ship
Spinning helplessly, up above the earth.
While is heart is splintered
all the girls of winter
are buried in their coats, anonymous.
While winter girls are waiting
Ivanovich in high rotation
he is just another star, up in the sky.
While the world was waiting
we're overwhelmed by some sensation
of something long ago and far away.
Like General Jackson's arm
it's buried on some farm
while the fever pushes words from his lips.
And by the drunken river
where the soldiers shiver
We rest beneath the shade of the trees.
While winter girls are saying
each of us a tiny nation
You're just another star
but so am I.
While the world was waiting
we're overwhelmed by some sensation
or something long ago and far away.
