"Russia" as written by and Brent Knopf....
Listen while you read!
I visited Russia and I started folding
Until in one precious doll I had hoarded
All of Siberia; I said, Love, here ya
Go, she said:
Too little too late
A trip to the Nile where I started swimming
Until I finally found the spring brimming
With God's purest water from Abba the father
To heal her
She said:
Too little too late
I sailed to Komodo, I fought with the dragons
When it was over, their tails were wagging
I taught them tricks, said Sit, dragon, sit
I brought her a pet
She said:
Too little too late
I rode into China, I studied the Wall
And I lapped it seven times, which caused it to fall
It spilled out our fortune, I found exhortion
Well, here you go
She said
Too little too late
She said
Too little too late
Too little too late
I visited Russia and I started folding
Until in one precious doll I had hoarded
All of Siberia; I said, Love, here ya
Go, she said:
Too little too late
A trip to the Nile where I started swimming
Until I finally found the spring brimming
With God's purest water from Abba the father
To heal her
She said:
Too little too late
I sailed to Komodo, I fought with the dragons
When it was over, their tails were wagging
I taught them tricks, said Sit, dragon, sit
I brought her a pet
She said:
Too little too late
I rode into China, I studied the Wall
And I lapped it seven times, which caused it to fall
It spilled out our fortune, I found exhortion
Well, here you go
She said
Too little too late
She said
Too little too late
Too little too late

Great song.
As for the song, I think it pretty much speaks for itself. The only thing I want to draw attention to is his writing: the interior rhyme, the trademark off-kilter rhythm, the crazy imagery. It actually reminds me somewhat of a few Irish folksongs and stories, which seem to have a similar focus on Great Deeds that somehow lead to even more problems. Another very good song on an album full of them.

"A trip to the Nile where I started swimming
UP STREAM TILL I finally found the spring brimming"
"when it was over, their tails were wagging.
FOR I taught them tricks"
"And I lapped it seven times, which caused it to fall.
It spilled out HER fortune, I found EXHORTATION"
