A Laika Of Our Very Own! (Album Mix) Lyrics

You're passing Tanzania for the seventh time today

Somehow you didn't factor in how lonely these things feel from far away

Oh, Laika, You didn't have much choice in the matter

A couple three skinners and the price is right

Might leave you with some comfort, make you feel at home tonight

You didn't think a place could feel flatter than the places you've been

Oh, Laika you're living in the land of the venial sin

Eat all the sweetened cream you like, they still won't let you in

Oh, Russia's perfect sweetheart, how I wish your life were mine

Oh, Laika, caught in orbit 'til the end of time

I might miss the comfort of the streets I know

I was born into the spring but I have learned to live in snow

Moscow has been cruel to me, but that might be my own doing

What's the good in pursuing anything here?

Perfection and connection will all disappear

Oh, Laika, when you're staring at the city from the stratosphere, you'll see how good it all could've been

Oh, Laika, you're living in the land of the mortal sin

Continue with your platitudes, it all still feels so thin

Oh, Russia's perfect sweetheart, they caught you in your prime

Oh, Laika, caught in orbit 'til the end of time
