about

Music written in the winter of 2005, lyrics composed some time in 2008. The title refers to one of the main characters of "The Master And Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov.

lyrics

Gretchen married when she was 19
Just because of his second name
It was greek and she liked it
But the routine remained just the same
He never took her to Greece and
She joined a facebook group
Named “Desperate wives”
And among those so gloomy and sad
She has been seeking some useful advice

Gretchen’s going to the masquerade tonight

People told her their funny stories
And she laughed to show she was getting
Suddenly the things changed when she had met
A right man right in the Kremlin
He said: we’ll take you to Greece and
Damn that facebook group, you, desperate wife
They’ll reveal all the secrets they have
If you don’t ask them for an advice

Gretchen’s going to the masquerade

She’s so cute when she’s smiling
And there is a fireplace with fire in it
Now she got everything she wanted
And his name she wants to repeat
But the song is not over
5 of 7 would love a happy end
I will make it as good as I can
But the one thing is clear: I would never pretend

Yes, they’re going to live a happy life
Gretchen’s going to the masquerade
