[Verse 1: Vyacheslav Butusov]

The wind is cold in the open window

Long shadows are cast across the table

I’m a secret guest in a silver cloak

And you know why I’ve come to you

[Chorus: Boris Grebenschikov]

To give you strength

To give you power

To kiss you on the neck

To kiss you to my heart’s content

Like a gentle vampire

Gentle vampire

Like an innocent child

Like a gentle vampire

Get up!

[Verse 2: Vyacheslav Butusov]

Your girlfriends sniff glue

Every day they get a bit dumber

In this country, slimy like filth

You can become fat, you can fade away

[Chorus: Boris Grebenschikov]

But I’ll set off

The fire in your eyes

I’ll give you strength

I’ll give you power

I’ll make you

Not like everyone else

Like a sacrificial lamb

I came to you

And you know why…
