I'm No Russian

Lyrics

I'm no Russian
 Not even Prussian
 Doorman at the yacht club
 Was my one claim to fame
 Some say I'm nervy
 Hell, I'm from Jersey
 This chasin' money
 Can do things to your brain
 How does a shore boy like me
 Wind up out on the Black Sea
 Dropped out of Harvard
 Then joined the Coast Guard
 Manned a faithful 50
 On a boat in Gitmo
 Did my duty
 But missed the booty
 I heard that St. Barth
 Was the place I should go
 How could a coastie like me
 Sail off into infamy
 I couldn't surf or sing or play the guitar
 All I ever did was steal an oligarch's car
 My million dollar joy ride was not the perfect crime
 And those bad boys from Little Odessa
 Don't believe in wasting time
 A Lamborghini Elemento
 Ain't your average island car
 "Park it close" the driver told me
 Sounding like some kind of czar
 With a bucket of Cristal
 And devil weed inside
 I thought it would be crazy
 Not to take a ride
 Flying through Gustavia
 Passing Mini Mokes
 Gendarmes at the roundabout
 Didn't get the joke
 Speeding down the hill
 Like a Dassault Mirage
 Parked it on the runway
 And headed for la plage
 Bar on fire
 Din of desire
 Dancing on a table
 She was waving me in
 Her name was Kira
 She knew no fear-a
 Then introduced me to her vampirish friends
 I'd never seen such a girl
