Russian lyrics transliteration

[loki-fledermaus.livejournal.com]

Hello!

I'm asking for a favour. I'm a huge Regina Spektor fan and have recently discovered one of her rare songs where she sings in her mothertongue. My Russian isn't good enough to understand exactly what she's singing. Could someone listen and possibly type out what she sings in the middle section of this song called 8th Floor? You don't even need to translate it as I need the practice. Also I hope you'll all get into her music, as she is amazing.

Thank you very much

восьмой этаж
восьмой этаж
все высоко
все надо мной

вот идет домой
карман пустой
хоть милостыню просите
три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба

а теперь, наверное, все дороже
и дорожки те забыты
а над ними паруса

первый этаж
я маленькая
все высоко
все надо мной

восьмой этаж
Америка
я высоко
все подо мной
я высоко...

it's such a beautiful song! thank you so much!

aw, thank you so much! I've been trying to sing along to this song, now I can!

This song is especially beautiful, isn't it? I recommend everything else she has done (go to www.reginaspektor.net for free mp3s). I saw her play live recently and she is just incredible. Her songs are so intense and poetic... I really love her music!
