I wiped away the pain that was running down her face
She looked right into my eyes, but I had to look away
I took her hand in mine and said this can never last
There's no future and all that's passed
But now I see the only thing worth living for
Is what I left at that terminal door

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number about a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Can you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling

Spent all my days and nights learning how to be alone
No room for anyone I could ever call my own
I got used to the ice running through my veins
Immune to any kind of pain
I need to be strong but I've forgotten how
I guess it's time to surrender now

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number about a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Would you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling

Mm, I need to be strong but I've forgotten how
I guess it's time to surrender now

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number about a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Can you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
