This song always made me think of Lenin as the corpse. I imagine staring at Lenin in his case, then later seeing Lenin hanging from a hook out my window, and not knowing how to tell Lenin how damn cool he is for showing up in my life over and over again. What a world this is, with Lenin in it! Look over there, it's Lenin's preserved corpse! Take a picture!
I don't know what Lenin looks like, so in my imagination it's just a corpse in a Russian uniform like Stalin wore, except somehow I know it's Lenin and not Stalin. I don't even know if Lenin wore a uniform ever, or if he just wore a lot of furs, but that's the picture that's in my head when I hear this song.
