Pulled into Vladivostok 
Must have been a hundred degrees below 
And I can't remember ever being that cold 
Then they shackled us like criminals 
And put us on a train 
And we waited in the darkness and the snow 

We awakened in the morning 
As the train began to roll 
And the [bad word] winter 
Had already claimed a soul 
From mountains ever northward 
Seemed like six or seven days 
Till we finally found the place we were to go 

Hey Hey Vladivostok...What's it gonna be? 
I'm so lonely, you're the only place thats left for me 
Hey Hey Vladivostok, you got me on my knees 
It's been so long since I went wrong 
Someone help me, won't you please 

I wish that I could see you 
Hold you near just one more time 
And hear you say the things you used to do 
Well, lo and behold, I see before my eyes 
vision...apparition of you 

You know I'd go a thousand miles 
And I'd walk most all the way 
Just to see you smile the way you do 
...the way you do
