THE BALKANS 

 one more time I find myself
 miles away from home
 all shadows from my past
 I don't like them at all
 as I'm passing by at least
 through my life
 even through her love
 if that means anything to you

 at nine in the morning I open the firm
 I've been doing this for years
 and there's no reason
 to refuse support
 for my good will and
 for my hungry stomach too
 and some long empty road
 which I've been paving for the whole
 fuckin' world

 and made sure it wouldn't move
 and that's how I've gone away
 but you the balkans keep quiet
 and stay well

 and when money in spent you got a
 headache
 and I usually empty the bottles that my
 old lady packs
 and I usually try to give the firm some
 form
 and roll it into the road
 (but)
 the monster wouldn't give in
 so I got into the turnpike
 and with mighty right wing
 I straightened out the firm

 and made sure it wouldn't move
 and that's how I've gone away
 but you the balkans keep quiet
 and stay well
