I make my daily cups last an hour to sup half a teaspoon of sugar per cup Just anough... to make my body ache for more Remembering the sweet taste of Masaman in my old fashioned apartment, around the corner from the colleseum Just like everyone else,, I chanted support for ukraine I never thought Vlad could cause me pain but then my flight had an engine wane Diverted, we had to land to catch a train [Announcement "Landing shortly in Moscow, please ensure your tray tables are stowed and your seats are in the upright position" They marched us off the plane A small russian man with a clipboard called out my name then big russian men marched me away again I had no idea what was going on And then i ended up here, in a cell in Dagestan With a teaspoon of sugar and two bags of tea a day I don't think i'll ever get away (I'll die here) (I'll die here) (I'll die here) i pull my thin blanket tight Shiver my aching body to sleep this night then I dream of Tom yum and espresso on the spanish steps while the tourist crowds hum I wonder how long my mother wept With a teaspoon of sugar and two bags of tea a day (Slava Ukraine) ... (Slava Ukraine) ... (Slava Ukraine) ... (Slava Ukraine) ... [Announcement] "Russia has agreed to repatriate the body of an italian man who died in a prison in Dagestan last week after being detained on espionage charges" (Slava Ukraine)
