Belarusian baby This island feels nothing like home Yeah And I don't understand much But I asked, "Are you leaving?" And нет means no It's fun to feign forbidden love Forget our jobs that make us fret And we know we ain't foolin' the boss When we sneak past the bistro to the deck La, la, la-la, la La la la la la Belarusian baby Your touch makes July feel like June And in the silent language We spoke by the water I learned about you Took me to your quarters You let me insidе Revealed to mе the world The bar owners tried to hide By starlight, traversing these haunted tourist grounds I wondered if we'd ever Make it out of here somehow After your shift you'd see me play The band and I would play your song And I would look up from the stage To see if you were nodding along It's your favorite song But, hey Y'know, I I never read your letter, babe For Russian is not my first tongue This island never felt like home But we grew out of it like one
