In recent days, California Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger made good on a promise to visit Russia. The video shows him braving the Moscow metro, a feat which earned him major bonus points with locals.
What a charming conversationalist. The governor tells about being inspired as a child by a Russian weightlifter, noting the athlete's name in perfect Russian.
I was wandering in the rain Mask of life, feelin insane Swift and sudden fall from grace Sunny days seem far away Kremlins shadow belittlin me Stalins tomb wont let me be On and on and on it came Wish the rain would just let me
How does it feel (how does it feel) How does it feel How does it feel When youre alone And youre cold inside
Here abandoned in my fame Armageddon of the brain Kgb was doggin me Take my name and just let me be Then a begger boy called my name Happy days will drown the pain On and on and on it came And again, and again, and again... Take my name and just let me be
How does it feel (how does it feel) How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel (how does it feel now) How does it feel How does it feel When youre alone And youre cold inside
How does it feel (how does it feel) How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel (how does it feel now) How does it feel How does it feel When youre alone And youre cold inside
Like stranger in moscow Like stranger in moscow Were talkin danger Were talkin danger, baby Like stranger in moscow Were talkin danger Were talkin danger, baby Like stranger in moscow Im livin lonely Im livin lonely, baby Stranger in moscow
(kgb interrogator - Russian to english translation) Why have you come from the west? Confess! to steal the great achievements of The people, the accomplishments of the workers...

Ran across this song last week, searching for information about if and when Michael Jackson was ever in Russia. I had understood from Russian television that he was in Moscow in either 1996 or 2006. It's dangerous to understand Russian less than perfectly - as I do - and so I often find myself needing to confirm or clarify what I think I heard.
Anyway, never managed to find the answer to that question. Got derailed by this song. Quite poignant. . . so sad.
