Украду тебя ночью - увезу тебя в Сочи

Игорь Тальков - Чистые Пруды

This powerful ballad unwinds the tragic collapse of a decade-long bond, exploring the devastating consequences of intimate betrayal. The narrator recounts the history of a friendship—once a sacred, sisterly covenant—that was shattered by jealousy and dark ambition.

The narrative tracks the slow poison of suspicion, starting from veiled insults and strange distance, leading to the shocking realization that a trusted friend acted as a serpent, seducing an (already) toxic spouse to breach the vows of both marriage and friendship.

Ultimately, the song is a dramatic reckoning. It concludes with the narrator finding the strength to sever the connection completely during the chaos of divorce, choosing self-preservation over a polluted past. It is an atmospheric journey through loss, anger, and the final, powerful acceptance that some relationships are destined to turn to dust.

To the "serpent", Jami Larsen-Miller, and my final muse:

I wish you well, now that the dust has settled from the brief, blinding flame you struck during and after the end of my toxic marriage. You reached for what looked like gold—the charm, the salary, the illusion—and I hope the temporary thrill was worth the wreckage of our friendship.

I see you are still holding onto the remnants of that connection, and I leave you with a strange comfort: It takes time for the glamour to fade and the true colors to show. I already found my freedom when I finally unloved the man beneath the mask.

That realization is the final, heavy prize, and I suspect you are discovering why looks and fake charm, and a good salary aren't everything.

The cage is broken, the wind is at my back, and I am flying, free from the chaos you helped complete. Keep the remnants; I'll take the wings.

[intro]

[instrumental]

Jerry went to school
But he wanted so much more
He was thinking about congress
And how one day he might rule

He knew he loved his country
But he had to pay the rent
He would go to the house
and his people represent

[instrumental]

He found it was not easy
Not everyone agreed
They wanted different things
He could do just two or three

He thought he'd join a party
They would help him get elected
They said support our platform
And you will be selected

So he went back to his people
And sold the party line
He soon would be elected
It all happened in good time

Who cares what you think
Who cares what you want
Just pick the choice I offered
And I will do all I can

[chorus]
This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you

[instrumental]

So he went back to his people
And sold the party line
If you let me do this now
I will take care of you somehow

There was no longer any Jerry
He was part of the machine
His wife would soon leave him
He was nothing like he'd been

Don't tell me what you think
Don't tell me what you want
This is what you're gonna get
Just sign the dotted line

[chorus]
This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you

[instrumental]

This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you

They're doing it for you

It will be best for you

There is nothing they can do

It will be best for you


[outro]
