I lived on wire
As a street spier
Never found escape
In my empty coop

Till it came one noon
When the Spetsnaz GRU
Needed something gone
In the Pentagon

I took my life of a Legal Avian
A spotted eaglet
That's what I was
And I knew I found my game

Just telephone Chirpov
Just livin' on a poison pill
Telephone Chirpov
A comrade sent to kill

Just telephone Chirpov
That's all I kept in mind
Telephone Chirpov
The rest is left behind.

Telephone, Telephone, Telephone Chirpov... Chirpov...

I met a hen
In a small cafe
Just a cigarette
And les jeux sont faits

Till it came one night
When she was in sight
Through the bathroom door
Saw her seek for more

I took my knife and I aimed it at her eyes...
Sentimental prancers
That's what we were
And I knew I lost my aim...

Just telephone Chirpov
Just livin' on a poison pill
Telephone Chirpov
A comrade sent to kill

Just telephone Chirpov
That's all I kept in mind
Telephone Chirpov
The rest is left behind.

Telephone, Telephone, Telephone Chirpov... Chirpov...

She looked at me
God, she was so sweet
She knelt to my feet
Said she had to cheat

'Cause she lived her life
On the sharpest knife
And the CIA
Never let her breathe

I took her hand, we decided to go faaaaaaaaaaaar...
The naivest dancers
That what we were
And two men approached the car...

Just telephone Chirpov
Just livin' on a poison pill
Telephone Chirpov
A comrade sent to kill

Just telephone Chirpov
That's all I kept in mind
Telephone Chirpov
The rest is left behind
